Weight Watchers Strawberry Cheesecake Jars

Step 3: Create the Crust Layer

  1. In a bowl, mix the crushed graham crackers with light butter or applesauce until the texture is slightly moist and holds when pressed.
  2. Divide the crust mixture evenly among six small jars (like 4-oz mason jars or ramekins), pressing lightly into the bottom.

Step 4: Layer the Jars

  1. First layer: Add about 1–2 tablespoons of the graham cracker crust to the bottom of each jar.
  2. Second layer: Spoon or pipe the cheesecake mixture over the crust. Smooth the top.
  3. Third layer: Add 1–2 tablespoons of strawberry compote on top of the cheesecake layer.

Optional: Add another thin layer of cheesecake or compote, depending on your jar size.


Step 5: Chill and Serve

  • Seal the jars with lids or cover with plastic wrap.
  • Refrigerate for at least 2–3 hours, or overnight for best texture.
  • When ready to serve, top with a swirl of light whipped cream, a fresh strawberry slice, or a mint leaf for a beautiful finish.

💡 Tips & Variations

  • Add protein: Use a high-protein Greek yogurt to make this dessert even more filling.
  • Swap fruits: Try blueberries, raspberries, or a mixed berry blend.
  • Make it vegan: Use plant-based cream cheese and yogurt for a dairy-free version.
  • Use sugar-free jelly as a quick alternative to homemade compote.
