Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Prepare the Crust: In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted unsalted butter until it resembles damp sand, then press into the bottom of each jar.
  2. Make the Cream Cheese Mixture: Beat softened cream cheese until smooth, then add powdered sugar and vanilla, mixing until light and airy.
  3. Whip the Heavy Cream: Whip heavy cream in a separate bowl until stiff peaks form, about 4-5 minutes.
  4. Combine the Mixtures: Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until no visible streaks remain.
  5. Color the Cheesecake Filling: Divide the filling and add pink gel food coloring or freeze-dried strawberry powder to one half, mixing gently.
  6. Layer the Cheesecake Filling: Layer pink filling first, followed by white filling in jars, filling each to about ¾ full.
  7. Add Toppings: Pipe dollops of whipped cream on top and sprinkle with pastel candy eggs and colorful sprinkles.
  8. Chill and Serve: Refrigerate jars for at least 2 hours before serving.
