You’ll Need These Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups gluten-free graham cracker crumbs
• 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 8 oz cream cheese, softened
• 1/2 cup powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup heavy whipping cream, whipped to stiff peaks
• 1 cup peach puree (fresh or canned peaches blended until smooth)
• 1 cup raspberry sauce or raspberry jam
• Optional garnish: fresh peach slices, fresh raspberries

How to Make Peach Melba No-Bake Cheesecake Jars

First things first: start by whipping up your cheesecake filling. You want your cream cheese to be nice and soft so it blends up super smooth—no lumps allowed! In a large bowl, beat together your cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla until it’s silky and creamy. Then gently fold in your whipped cream so you get a light, fluffy filling that’s absolutely dreamy.

Next, let’s prep those jars! Spoon a layer of crushed gluten-free graham crackers into the bottom of each jar. Press them down with the back of your spoon to form a solid base—that way, you get that perfect cheesecake “crust” texture in every bite.

Now it’s time for the fun part: layering! Add a generous scoop of your cheesecake filling on top of the crust layer. Smooth it out a bit, then spoon over a layer of peach puree. Follow with a swirl of raspberry sauce for that gorgeous pop of color and tangy contrast.

Repeat your layers if your jars are tall enough, finishing with a final dollop of cheesecake filling or a swirl of peach and raspberry sauce on top.

To make them extra special, garnish each jar with a fresh peach slice or a few raspberries, plus a little lemon zest if you’re feeling fancy.

Pop your jars in the fridge for at least 30 minutes to let everything chill and set up. When you’re ready, grab a spoon and dig in—these no-bake cheesecake jars are creamy, fruity, and totally irresistible!

How to Make These Cheesecake Jars Dairy-Free

Want to keep your Peach Melba Cheesecake Jars dairy-free? It’s easy!

• Cream Cheese: Swap traditional cream cheese for a dairy-free alternative like Kite Hill or Tofutti dairy-free cream cheese—these blend up just as creamy.
• Whipped Cream: Use coconut whipped topping (like So Delicious CocoWhip) or make your own by whipping chilled coconut cream with a splash of vanilla.
• Butter: For the graham cracker crust, use melted vegan butter or coconut oil instead of regular butter.
• Double-Check the Crumbs: Be sure your gluten-free graham crackers are also dairy-free, as some brands include milk.

The result? A lusciously creamy, dairy-free dessert that everyone—vegan or not—will love!

Top Tips for Perfect Cheesecake Jars

• Use room temperature cream cheese: This makes it easier to whip into a smooth, creamy filling without lumps—don’t skip it!
• Pack your crust layer firmly: Press the gluten-free graham cracker crumbs into the bottom of each jar so they hold together when you dig in.
• Layer carefully for pretty jars: Spoon each layer slowly and wipe the inside of the jar with a clean paper towel if you get smudges—this keeps your layers neat and Instagram-worthy.
• Chill before serving: Give your cheesecake jars at least an hour in the fridge so the layers set up nicely and flavors meld together.
• Customize the fruit: No fresh peaches? Use canned or swap in other berries like blueberries or blackberries—this recipe is super flexible!
• Make ahead of time: Cheesecake jars are the perfect make-ahead dessert; they’ll stay fresh and delicious in the fridge for up to three days.
