Description
The Red Velvet Christmas Cheesecakes in a Jar is a delightful variation of traditional cheesecake designed specifically for convenience, portion control, and festive presentation. Unlike classic baked cheesecakes that require delicate water baths, slow cooling, and careful handling to prevent cracking, this modern creation relies on a gentle no-bake technique.
Ingredients
For the chocolate biscuit crust
-
150 g chocolate biscuits or Oreo cookies
-
45 g unsalted butter, melted
For the red velvet cheesecake filling
-
300 g cream cheese, softened
-
200 ml cold whipping cream
-
80 g icing sugar
-
1 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
-
1 tsp vanilla extract
-
1–2 tsp red gel food colouring
-
1 tsp lemon juice (optional)
For the Christmas topping
-
3–4 tbsp red velvet cake crumbs
-
Whipped cream

White chocolate shavings (optional)

Christmas sprinkles (optional)
Instructions
Step 1: Make the crust
Crush the chocolate biscuits into fine crumbs. Mix with the melted butter until combined. Divide evenly between 6 small jars and press down gently. Refrigerate.
Step 2: Prepare the filling
Beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add the icing sugar, cocoa powder, vanilla extract, lemon juice, and red gel food colouring. Mix until creamy and evenly coloured.
Step 3: Whip the cream
In a separate bowl, whip the cold whipping cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold it into the red velvet cream cheese mixture until light and fluffy.
Step 4: Assemble the jars
Spoon or pipe the red velvet cheesecake filling over the biscuit crust. Smooth the tops or use a piping bag for a decorative finish.
Step 5: Chill
Cover the jars and refrigerate for 4–6 hours, preferably overnight, until the cheesecake is firm.
Step 6: Decorate
Before serving, add whipped cream, red velvet cake crumbs, white chocolate shavings, and Christmas sprinkles.
