Indulge in a magical treat with these Harry Potter Butterbeer Cheesecake Jars. Combining a rich graham cracker crust with a creamy, buttery butterscotch-flavored cheesecake filling, topped off with whipped cream and extra butterscotch drizzle, these no-bake jars capture the essence of the famous wizarding world drink in a delightful dessert perfect for any occasion.


Ingredients

Scale

Crust

  • 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

Cheesecake Filling

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/2 cup butterscotch sauce
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup heavy cream

Toppings

  • Whipped cream (for topping)
  • Extra butterscotch sauce (for drizzling)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the crust: In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter thoroughly. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of each serving jar to form an even crust layer.
  2. Make the cheesecake filling: In a separate bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Gradually add the powdered sugar, butterscotch sauce, and vanilla extract, mixing thoroughly until the mixture is completely smooth.
  3. Whip the cream: In another bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form, indicating it is firm enough to hold shape. Carefully fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture, combining gently to maintain the airy texture.
  4. Assemble the jars: Spoon or pipe the cheesecake filling over the graham cracker crust in the jars, creating an even layer. Top each jar with a generous dollop of whipped cream and finish by drizzling extra butterscotch sauce over the whipped cream for added sweetness and decoration.

Notes

  • You can substitute butterscotch sauce with caramel sauce for a slightly different flavor.
  • For a firmer cheesecake texture, chill the assembled jars in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving.
  • To make ahead, prepare the jars up to one day in advance and keep refrigerated.
  • Use full-fat cream cheese and heavy cream for best texture and richness.
