Steps
- In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and a pinch of salt. Pour in the melted unsalted butter and mix until the crumbs are evenly moist. Divide the mixture into small jars, pressing down firmly to create a solid base.
- Chill a large mixing bowl, then pour in the heavy whipping cream and beat with an electric mixer on medium speed until medium-stiff peaks form, about 3-5 minutes.
- In another bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and lemon juice together until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture in two batches, mixing until just combined.
- If desired, separate the filling into bowls and add gel food coloring to achieve pastel colors, mixing gently.
- Layer the colorful cheesecake filling over the prepared crust in each jar, leaving space for toppings.
- Cover the jars and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably up to 24 hours.
- Before serving, add toppings like mini chocolate eggs, jelly beans, or shredded coconut.

Notes
Ensure cream cheese is at room temperature for a smooth filling. Add toppings just before serving to keep them fresh.
