Instructions

- Layer the Jars: Spoon the cheesecake mixture into small jars or glasses such as mason jars. Use a spoon or spatula to press the mixture down gently, ensuring an even layer in each jar.
- Top with Graham Crackers: Evenly sprinkle the crushed graham crackers over the top of each cheesecake jar to add a crunchy texture and extra flavor contrast.
