No Bake Cheesecake in a Jar With Summer Berries

Good morning friends! I hope that you are having a fabulous week. It has been beautiful here and surprisingly cool for the last few days. As you know I am living in an extended stay hotel for a few weeks but I have not let that impede my cooking or creating. I have been cooking almost every night using either my Phillips Air Fryer or using the two burner electric cooktop to make simple skillet meals, salads and lots of chicken dishes. I have never used an electric cooktop so that has take some getting used too.

The hotel has limited supplies in each kitchen so with the help of a few of my favorite stores and Amazon I can still be creative and have some sweet treats in addition to our savory meals.

Sunday I made this incredibly easy No-bake cheesecake in a jar topped with my favorite summer berries. This delicious dessert is perfect for any summer occasion, bbq’s, days at the lake, a back yard picnic and more.

All you need is:

• a cookie or graham cracker crust
• cream cheese
• heavy whipping cream
• vanilla
• sugar
• berries or pie filling

These simple ingredients will make a tasty treat the whole family will love.
