Freezer Cheesecake

Made From Pinterest
Course Dessert

Ingredients
  

Crust

  • 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 2 TBL sugar
  • 5 TBL salted butter - if you have unsalted butter add a pinch of salt

Filling

  • 2 8 oz packages of cream cheese
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1/4 tsp vanilla
  • 3 eggs

Toppings

  • Canned cherry blueberry, strawberry pie filling
  • Lemon curd

Instructions
 

  • In a food processor, blend the graham cracker crumbs, sugar and butter until finely ground. (You can also use a blender)
  • Press this mixture into the bottom of an 8oz freezer-safe canning jar. This recipe will yield 6-8 jars.
  • Prepare filling by beating cream cheese and 1 cup sugar until fluffy. Add vanilla. Beat in eggs, one at a time.
  • Pour cream cheese mixture on top of the graham cracker mixture in your 6-8 jars.
  • With foil, cover the tops of each jar and tightly seal around the edges.
  • If you have a canning pot, place jars in the rack spots. If you don't, you can use a stockpot with two thick towels placed in the bottom and place the jars on top of the towels to secure.
  • Add enough hot water to a depth of two inches.
  • Cover with lid (Can use foil as a lid if you don't have one)
  • Bring water to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 20 minutes.
  • Carefully remove jars and let dry completely.
  • After they are dry, take a paper towel and wipe the inside of the glass of any cheesecake that might have gotten stuck there.
  • Take the canning jar lid and ring and tightly screw the lid on top of the jar. Place in freezer until ready to serve.
  • When ready to serve, take out of freezer and let thaw. Top with desired toppings.
