Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup graham cracker crumbs (certified gluten free if necessary)
  • 3 Tablespoons packed dark brown sugar
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter (melted)
  • ½ cup heavy whipping cream (cold)
  • 8 ounces full-fat cream cheese (room temperature)
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 Tablespoons powdered sugar
  • 2 Tablespoons sour cream (room temperature)
  • ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • ¾ cup strawberry jam
  • Whipped Cream:
  • ½ cup heavy whipping cream (cold)
  • 1 ½ Tablespoons powdered sugar
  • ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 6 strawberries (optional, sliced)
  • 2 Tablespoons dark chocolate (optional, roughly chopped)

Instructions

  1. Mix the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and dark brown sugar to create the crust. It should look crumbly.
  2. Fill each cup with 1/6 of the crust (about 2 Tablespoons per cup).
  3. Beat the heavy whipping cream on medium-high speed until it thickens and holds stiff peaks (around 4 minutes). Transfer the whipped cream to a small bowl and refrigerate.
  4. Combine the cream cheese and granulated sugar in the mixer bowl. Mix on medium speed until smooth (about 3 minutes).
  5. Add the sour cream, powdered sugar, and pure vanilla extract. Mix until just combined.
  6. Gently fold in the whipped cream using a rubber spatula. Be careful not to overmix.
  7. Spoon 1/6 of the cheesecake mixture into each cup.
  8. Refrigerate for 4-6 hours, or preferably overnight.
  9. Once set, spoon 2 Tablespoons of strawberry jam into each jar.
  10. Beat the heavy whipping cream on medium-high speed until thick and holding stiff peaks (around 4 minutes). Add powdered sugar and pure vanilla extract, mixing until just combined.
  11. Transfer the whipped cream to a plastic bag, cut off the tip, and pipe it onto the tops of each cheesecake cup.
  12. Top with sliced strawberries and chopped dark chocolate if desired.

Notes

Ensure the cream cheese is at room temperature for easier mixing. Don’t overmix the whipped cream mixture to keep it light and fluffy.
