Ingredients:
- 1 cup graham cracker crumbs (or crushed low-fat graham crackers)
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted (or a lower-fat alternative)
- 8 oz (1 package) reduced-fat cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar (or a sugar substitute suitable for baking)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup fat-free Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)
- 1 can (about 14 oz) cherry pie filling (use a sugar-free or light version for fewer points)
- Fresh cherries for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
- In a bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter until well combined.
- In another bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, continuing to beat until combined.
- Gradually fold in the Greek yogurt into the cream cheese mixture until thoroughly combined.
- To assemble the jars, layer the bottom of each jar or serving glass with a spoonful of the graham cracker mixture.
- Add a layer of the cream cheese and yogurt mixture on top of the graham cracker layer.
- Spoon a layer of cherry pie filling over the cream cheese layer in each jar.
- Repeat the layers until the jars are filled, ending with a layer of cherry pie filling on top.
- If desired, garnish each jar with a fresh cherry or additional graham cracker crumbs.
- Refrigerate the cheesecake jars for at least an hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
