Instructions

For the crust, place the biscuits in a food processor and process into crumbs. Transfer to a bowl, add melted butter, sugar, and combine until moistened. Divide into the bottom of each jar.
For the cheesecake filling. In a medium bowl, beat the whipping cream with an electric hand mixer, until light and fluffy. Set aside.
In a separate mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese with an electric hand mixer until fluffy. Add confectioners’ sugar, and beat until fully incorporated. Add lemon juice, beat until combined. Pour the milk, and beat again.
Fold in the freshly whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture, using a rubber spatula. Fill a large piping bag with the mixture*.
For assembling. Pipe a layer of the cream cheese mixture evenly into the jars, add some berries, then repeat one more time (cream cheese, then berries again). Top with a few leaves of fresh mint. These no-bake cheesecake jars do not need to be chilled to enjoy right away, but if preparing ahead of time, refrigerate until ready to serve.

Notes

* You can skip the use of a piping bag and simply use a spoon to divide the cream cheese mixture into the jars.
