These No-Bake Red, White & Blueberry Cheesecake Jars are the perfect easy summer dessert: festive, fresh, and ready in minutes. A creamy cheesecake layer made with greek yogurt and a touch of maple syrup gets layered with crushed almond flour cookies and a pile of juicy berries for a treat that's as pretty as it is delicious.

Greek Yogurt Cheesecake Jars = Summer in a spoonful 🥄✨

The magic of this recipe is in the cheesecake layer. I add a whole cup of greek yogurt to get the tangy, creamy richness you love about cheesecake with a little extra protein and a lighter feel. Maple syrup keeps the sweetness natural and pairs beautifully with the berries, but if you prefer a sweeter dessert, feel free to add another drizzle to taste.

A woman with long red hair, wearing a brown sweater and jeans, smiles while standing in a modern kitchen beside a counter with fresh lettuce and hibachi steak bowls. Marble backsplash and gold kitchen accents are visible in the background.

These jars are endlessly customizable. Use whatever berries look best at the store, swap the graham crackers for granola if you want a breakfast-friendly version, or make them ahead and let them chill in the fridge for a few hours before serving (the graham crackers soften slightly and the flavors meld beautifully).

A person sits cross-legged in a meditation pose with their hands resting on their knees, peacefully imagining delicious hibachi steak bowls. The simple black outline contrasts against a white background.

Your backyard summer BBQ won't be complete without a pitcher of frozen coconut lemonade or a festive greek yogurt popsicle for everyone and a platter of greek yogurt deviled eggs.

No Bake Cheesecake Jar Ingredients

  • Cream cheese - You want the brick, not the kind in the tub. Make sure it's room-temperature before blending it.
  • Greek yogurt - Use plain and unsweetened. I prefer 5% fat but any type will work. Just know the higher the fat content the creamier the cheesecake filling!
  • Maple syrup - This adds a subtle hint of sweetness. You can swap with honey or agave if needed.
  • Lemon juice - Just a quick squeeze provides enough acidity. Apple cider vinegar can also be used too.
  • Almond flour crackers - Simple Mills Sweet Thins are my go-to for treats like this. They have a graham cracker vibe but are made with cleaner ingredients.
  • Berries - I opt for blueberries, blackberries, and strawberries for a red and blue theme. Realistically any type of fruit will work too.

Prep Time: 10 minutes
Total Time: 10 minutes
Servings: 4 servings

Ingredients
  

For the cheesecake mixture:

  • 8 oz cream cheese - softened
  • 1 cup greek yogurt - plain & unsweetened
  • ¼ cup milk of choice - I used almond milk
  • 2 tablespoon maple syrup - sub. Honey or agave
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¼ teaspoon sea salt

To assemble:

  • 1 cup honey cinnamon cookies - or graham crackers
  • ½ cup blueberries
  • ½ cup blackberries
  • ½ cup strawberries - thinly sliced

Instructions

  • Blend the cheesecake filling. Add the cream cheese, Greek yogurt, milk, maple syrup, lemon juice, vanilla, and sea salt to a blender. Blend until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed.
    8 oz cream cheese, 1 cup greek yogurt, ¼ cup milk of choice, 2 tablespoon maple syrup, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 2 teaspoon vanilla extract, ¼ teaspoon sea salt
  • Crush the cookies. Place the cookies in a zip-top bag and crush them with a rolling pin until you have coarse crumbs. (A food processor or small blender works too, or you can break them up by hand for a chunkier texture.)
    1 cup honey cinnamon cookies
  • Assemble the jars. Spoon a layer of cookie crumbs into the bottom of each 4 oz jar, about ¼ inch thick. Top with a layer of the cheesecake filling, then a layer of berries. Repeat the layers until the jar is full, then assemble the remaining jars. Serve right away, or chill in the fridge for up to 3 hours before serving.
    ½ cup blueberries, ½ cup blackberries, ½ cup strawberries

Notes

Make-ahead tip: The cheesecake filling can be made up to a day in advance and stored in the fridge. Assemble the jars no more than 3 hours before serving so the cookie layer stays with a little texture.
