Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and salt. Pour in melted unsalted butter, mixing until the mixture resembles wet sand.
- Spoon 2-3 tablespoons of the crust mixture into each jar and press down to create an even layer.
- Chill a mixing bowl and beaters for about 10 minutes. Whip heavy cream until medium-stiff peaks form, about 3-4 minutes.
- In a separate bowl, beat cream cheese with powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and lemon juice until smooth, about 2-3 minutes.
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture in two additions.
- Optionally, divide mixture and fold in gel food coloring to achieve desired shades.
- Fill the jars with the cheesecake mixture over the crust, leaving room for toppings.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to firm up.
- Decorate with sprinkles, mini chocolate eggs, or jelly beans just before serving.
- Serve chilled with small spoons for guests to enjoy.

Notes
Allow jars to chill for at least 2 hours; longer is better for flavor. Decorate just before serving to keep treats fresh.
