Crust
- 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Filling
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 cup butterscotch sauce
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup heavy cream
Topping
- Whipped cream (for topping)
- Extra butterscotch sauce (for drizzling)
- Prepare the crust: In a bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter thoroughly. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of your serving jars or dishes to form an even crust layer.
- Make the cheesecake filling: In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Gradually add the powdered sugar, butterscotch sauce, and vanilla extract, mixing after each addition until fully incorporated and smooth.
- Whip the cream: Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form, indicating it is thick and will hold shape.
- Combine whipped cream and cheesecake mixture: Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture with a spatula, maintaining the airy texture while blending everything together evenly.
- Assemble the cheesecake jars: Spoon or layer the cheesecake filling evenly over the graham cracker crust in the jars. Top each with a dollop of whipped cream and finish by drizzling extra butterscotch sauce on top for added sweetness and flair.
Notes
- Make sure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature for smooth mixing.
- Use high-quality butterscotch sauce for the best flavor profile.
- Press the crust firmly to avoid it crumbling when serving.
- These cheesecakes are best chilled for at least 2 hours before serving to set properly.
- Serve with a small spoon for easy eating directly from jars.
