Ingredients
16 oz cream cheese, softened to room temperature
1 cup powdered sugar, sifted
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
8 oz whipped topping, thawed
1.5 cups graham cracker crumbs
4 tbsp butter, melted
0.5 cup caramel sauce
Instructions
Combine graham cracker crumbs and melted butter in a small bowl until it resembles wet sand.
Divide the crumb mixture evenly among six jars and press down firmly to create a stable base.
Beat the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract in a large bowl until smooth and fluffy.
Gently fold the thawed whipped topping into the cream cheese mixture.
Transfer the filling into a piping bag or a large plastic bag with the corner snipped off.
Pipe the filling into each jar until they are about two-thirds full.
Drizzle a generous tablespoon of caramel sauce over the cream cheese layer in each jar.
Notes
Ensure your cream cheese is truly at room temperature to avoid lumps. For a clean look, wipe the interior sides of the jars if any filling touches them before adding the caramel. Keep refrigerated until ready to serve for the best texture.
