🍓 Homemade Strawberry Cheesecake Jars (1 Point Each)
Each jar of this homemade strawberry cheesecake is a little burst of creamy bliss. The lightened cream cheese and Greek yogurt filling deliver all the velvety richness of traditional cheesecake, but with a fraction of the calories. A touch of vanilla and honey gives a natural sweetness that perfectly complements the tangy cream base.
At the bottom, the delicate graham cracker crumble adds a satisfying texture that melts in your mouth. The buttery crumbs soak up a bit of the creamy layer, giving each spoonful a gentle crunch that reminds you of a classic baked cheesecake — just in a cuter, portion-controlled jar.
Finally, the fresh strawberries bring a juicy, vibrant finish. Their natural sweetness and touch of tartness cut through the richness, making every bite refreshing. It’s a dessert that feels indulgent yet light — proof that you can enjoy a creamy cheesecake treat for only one point per jar!
🍓 Homemade Strawberry Cheesecake Jars (1 Point Each)
Ingredients (makes 6 mini jars):
-
1 cup light cream cheese (or fat-free cream cheese)
-
½ cup nonfat Greek yogurt
-
2 tbsp honey or zero-calorie sweetener
-
1 tsp vanilla extract
-
1 cup fresh strawberries (plus extra for topping)
-
2 low-fat graham crackers, crushed
-
Optional: a squeeze of lemon juice for brightness
Instructions:
-
Prepare the crust: Crush the graham crackers and divide them evenly among six small jars or containers. Lightly press them down to create a crumbly base.
-
Make the cheesecake layer: In a bowl, blend cream cheese, Greek yogurt, honey (or sweetener), and vanilla extract until smooth and fluffy. Spoon this creamy mixture over the crust layer in each jar.
-
Add the strawberry topping: Slice strawberries and mash half of them with a fork to make a quick compote. Spoon a layer of this fresh strawberry mix over the cheesecake layer and garnish with a few slices on top. Chill for at least 1 hour before serving.
