Notes
Use store-bought graham cracker crumbs to skip a step.
If you're like me and love the crust, feel free to add a thicker layer...it’s the best part!
Gently fold the Cool Whip into the cream cheese mixture using a whisk to maintain that light, airy texture.
Use a plastic baggie as a makeshift piping bag for cleaner, more precise layers inside your mason jars.
Swap in raspberries, blackberries, or even peaches depending on what’s in season.
