Ingredients

  • Cherry Compote Ingredients:
  • 2 1⁄4 cups fresh cherries, pitted and sliced in quarters
  • 1⁄4 cup sugar
  • 3 tbsp. water
  • 1 tbsp. cornstarch
  • Graham Cracker Crust Ingredients:
  • 1 1⁄2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1⁄2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • Chocolate Cheesecake Filling Ingredients:
  • 2 packages cream cheese, 8 oz, room temperature
  • 2 tbsp. sour cream
  • 1⁄2 tsp. vanilla extract
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate, melted, and cooled

Directions

  • To make the cherry compote, place all of the ingredients into a medium sized sauce pot then place over medium heat. Use a wooden spoon to stir constantly until the mixture begins to bubble.
  • Allow the mixture to bubble and thicken for about 8-10 minutes then remove from heat and transfer to a heat proof bowl. Allow this to chill completely in the fridge for about 1 hour before assembling.
  • To make the graham cracker crust, stir together the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter until fully combined. Set aside.
  • To make the chocolate cheesecake filling, use an electric mixer to mix the cream cheese and powdered sugar until there are no lumps and the mixture is nice and smooth.
  • Whisk in the sour cream and vanilla.
  • Use a silicone spatula to fold the melted chocolate until it is evenly distributed throughout the cheesecake mixture.
  • To assemble the jars, spoon a layer of graham cracker crust on the bottom. Do your best to pack it in. Next, spoon a layer of cherry compote. Pipe a generous layer of chocolate cheesecake on top of the cherry compote then spoon another layer of cherry on top.
  • Pipe a small dollop of the cheesecake mixture on the last layer of cherry compote then stick a cherry on top. Repeat these steps for each one.
  • Enjoy!
