I love the idea of serving in small jars. Not only do they look pretty, but you get a dessert but not too much of it.
Thanks for the recipe,

These look fantastic! I love how simple they are to make but yet they look like you’ve spent hours. Maybe that’s the presentation. I’d happily serve these at one of my dinner parties. I’m pinning this recipe to my dream desserts board.

I love cheesecake and this presentation is simply awesome.
I want to try it 🙂
But so, this is a kind of cheesecake that doesn’t get bake?
Angie Holden says
Correct! You don’t have to bake it!

Susan says
Can I substitute vanilla pudding instead?
Angie Holden says
Not sure! I have never tried it that way.
Vanessa says
Hi, I was wondering if this is something that could be made the day before & chill in the fridge ( or do you think that could ruin the texture of the crust)? I’d love to make these for my sons pineapple themed birthday party, but my time the day of the party will be limited.
Angie Holden says
Maybe make the filling and the crust then assemble last minute? I think that would work!
Vanessa says
Thank you! I ended up making them the day off (maybe two hours prior to my sons birthday) and they did well in the fridge. They were a hit. Everyone was raving over them, and the recipe is delicious! Thank you for sharing! I wanted to post a picture, but I cannot figure out how to upload it
