Cherry Cheesecake Jars

Prepare the Crust:

1. Crush the Graham Crackers:
   • Place the graham crackers in a food processor and pulse until you have fine crumbs. You can also place them in a resealable plastic bag and crush them with a rolling pin.
2. Combine with Sugar and Butter:
   • In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs with 1/4 cup of granulated sugar. Stir in the melted unsalted butter and mix until the crumbs are evenly coated.
3. Assemble the Crust:
   • Divide the graham cracker mixture evenly among your jars or serving containers. Use a spoon or your fingers to press the mixture down to form a crust at the bottom of each jar.

Prepare the Cheesecake Filling:

4. Beat the Cream Cheese:
   • In a separate mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until it’s smooth and creamy.
5. Add Sugar, Vanilla, and Eggs:
   • Add the granulated sugar and vanilla extract to the cream cheese and mix until well combined. Then, add the eggs one at a time, mixing until fully incorporated after each addition.
6. Add Sour Cream:
   • Gently fold in the sour cream until it’s well combined with the cream cheese mixture.
