Greek yogurt in cheesecake?
Yes, that's right! This cheesecake recipe contains no sour cream. I love using Greek yogurt as a healthier substitute for sour cream, it has less calories but a very similar taste!
Making Chocolate Pumpkin Cheesecake Jars - A Quick Overview:
Keep scrolling for the full recipe. We’ll start here with a quick rundown!
- Measure all ingredients, except for cocoa powder, into a small bowl. Combine with an electric mixer on medium speed until well incorporated and smooth.
- Transfer half of the mixture to a Ziploc or icing bag.
- Add cocoa powder to the ingredients that remain in the bowl. Mix until well combined.
- Transfer mixture with cocoa powder to a separate Ziploc or icing bag.
- Fill 4 ounce jars halfway with pumpkin cheesecake mixture, then add a layer of chocolate. You'll want your jars to be ¾ full, just leave a little room for toppings like whipped cream, chopped nuts or a sprinkling of Cinnamon Granola!
- Lid jars and place them in the refrigerator to chill or enjoy immediately. (I personally prefer mine chilled)!
HANDY TIPS:
- Cheesecake jars are a great dessert to make ahead of time. Prepare up to three days in advance and store them in the refrigerator to save time on the holiday. Don't add toppings until you are ready to serve your dessert. You may also choose to leave whip cream and chopped pecans to the side so guests can add them if desired!
- For this recipe you'll need eight small glasses or jars! I purchased these super cute 4oz jars from Amazon and they work perfectly!
- If you don't have icing bags, you can use small Ziplocs for this recipe (icing bags are a little easier to work with but Ziplocs will do the trick). Use a spatula to transfer cheesecake mixture to bags (as shown below) and cut off one corner.
