My husband has been having a huge sweet tooth lately and has been asking me to try new desserts. He saw a recipe for a Strawberry Cheesecake in a Jar and wanted to know if I could do my magic and make it food friendly for our family. He even went as far and bought a basket of raspberries too!

Nevertheless… I worked my magic and came up with a pretty good recipe I think. And it was tasty too!!

No-bake Gluten Free Raspberry Cheesecake in a Jar

Ingredients:

6 half pint canning jars with lids and rings

Crust:

• 6 Udi’s Gluten Free Salted Caramel Cashew Cookies, finely crushed

• 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
• 1/2 cup white sugar
• 1/2 cup heavy cream, whipped
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 12 ounces fresh raspberries, chopped (set 12 raspberries aside not chopped)

Directions:

1. In a food processor, chop cookies, butter, and 3 tablespoons sugar together until nice and crumbly. Divide mixture evenly among jars (about 2 tablespoons each). Do not pack crust down into the jar.
2. Chop all the raspberries except for 12 of them.
3. Beat together cream cheese, lemon juice, and 1/2 cup sugar in bowl with an electric mixer at medium speed until smooth. Fold in the whipped cream and chopped berries and divide evenly among jars – about 1/2 cup of mixture into each jar.
