Alright, let’s gab about them desserts in a jar, you know, the kind they stuff in them glass thingies. I seen ’em at the store, all fancy-like. Makes me think, “Well, I can do that too!” Ain’t nothin’ too complicated for us country folk, right?
First off, you gotta get yourself some jars. Don’t go buyin’ them fancy, highfalutin ones unless you got money to burn. Any ol’ jar will do, long as it’s clean. You know, like the ones you get pickles in? Wash ’em good, get that pickle smell out. Unless you like pickle-flavored dessert, then by all means, leave it be.

Now, what kinda dessert you want? Me? I like somethin’ easy. No fuss, no muss. This No Bake Cheese Cheesecake In a Jar thing sounds right up my alley. No bakin’? Sign me up! You just smash up some graham crackers, mix ’em with butter, and pat it down in the bottom of the jar. That’s your crust, see? Easy peasy.
- Then you whip up some cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla.
- You can add all sorts of stuff, like berries or chocolate chips, whatever tickles your fancy.
- Spoon that creamy goodness on top of the crust, and there you go! Dessert in a jar.
But don’t stop there! There’s a whole world of desserts you can cram into a jar. Puddings, pies, cakes, even just fruit and whipped cream. Heck, you could put leftovers in a jar and call it dessert if you wanted to. Look no further than these 60 make ahead mason jar desserts! Sixty!

You ain’t gotta worry about slicin’ and servin’. Just hand ’em out, and everybody gets their own little portion. No fightin’, no fuss. Plus, they look kinda cute, all lined up on a table. Makes you look like you know what you’re doin’, even if you don’t.
Now, some folks might say, “Why bother with the jar? Just put it in a bowl.” Well, let me tell you, there’s somethin’ special about eatin’ outta a jar. It’s like your own little personal dessert. And it keeps things neat, too. No spillin’ all over the place. Unless you drop the jar, of course. Then you got a whole ‘nother mess to clean up. But we ain’t gonna think about that. We’re gonna think about the sweet, delicious goodness inside that jar.
