Ingredients

  • 8 ounces cream cheese room temperature
  • 3 tablespoons sugar
  • 3 tablespoons heavy cream
  • 1/2 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 large egg room temperature
  • Food coloring
  • Whipped cream and chocolate Easter eggs for garnish

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
  • Lightly grease six 4-ounce mason jars.
  • In a small bowl, stir together the graham cracker crumbs and butter. Divide the crust mixture among the mason jars, about 1 1/2 tablespoons per jar. Gently, not too tightly, press the crumbs into the bottom of the jars.
  • In a mixing bowl, blend the cream cheese and sugar with a hand mixer on medium speed until smooth. Blend in the cream, flour, and vanilla. Add the egg and mix just until blended. Divide the mixture into 3 separate bowls. Add 1-2 drops of blue coloring into one, yellow coloring into one, and red into one. Stir until the color is fully incorporated.
  • Divide the batter among the jars, two layers in each, alternating among the jars.
  • Place the jars in a large roasting pan. Fill the pan with hot water halfway up the mason jars. Place in the oven and bake for 30 minutes.
  • With oven mitts, transfer the jars to a wire rack. When the cheesecakes are cool, cover with lids and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight.
  • Garnish with whipped cream and mini chocolate eggs on top, if desired.
