Cherry Cheesecake Dessert Jar

One of my favorite seasonal activities is to make these Cherry Cheesecake Dessert Jars with the kids. We don’t even need real cherries to feel the festivities and on the odd occasion that I have a family dinner party, these are a lovely, fresh summer dessert to serve.

Layers of buttery crushed graham crackers with creamy vanilla cheesecake and a cherry pie filling from a can, prepared in mason jars and chilled in the fridge. Each spoonful is so tasty and delicious, I think you’re going to love making and eating these too!

To make Cherry Cheesecake Dessert Jar, you will need the following ingredients:

Steps to make Cherry Cheesecake Dessert Jar
