Ingredients
Scale
Graham Cracker Crust:
- 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
- 3 tablespoons melted butter
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
Cheesecake Filling:
- 8 ounces cream cheese (softened)
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream (cold)
- Pastel food coloring (pink, blue, yellow, green, etc.)
- 1/2 cup mini chocolate Easter eggs (crushed or whole)
- Whipped cream and extra Easter candy for topping
- 6 small jars or cups
Instructions
- Graham Cracker Crust: In a small bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar until evenly combined. Divide the mixture evenly among jars and press lightly to form a crust base.
- Cheesecake Filling: In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add powdered sugar and vanilla, and mix until combined. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until light and fluffy.
- Divide the cheesecake filling evenly into 4–5 bowls and tint each with a different pastel food coloring. Layer spoonfuls of each color into the jars over the crust, creating a rainbow or marbled effect. Add crushed or whole mini Easter eggs between layers or on top.
- Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to set. Top with whipped cream and extra candy before serving.
Notes
- You can make these jars a day ahead and store covered in the fridge.
- Use gel food coloring for vibrant pastel shades without thinning the mixture.
