Ingredients

Scale

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)

Instructions

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
