One of the best things about summer is Saskatoon berries! And like summer, Saskatoon berry season is short so you'll want to take advantage of it and make as many Saskatoon berry recipes as possible! Fortunately, I've got another fabulous Saskatoon recipe for you.

It's too hot to bake and I really wanted Saskatoon Berry Cheesecake, but I didn't want an entire cheesecake, nor did I want a bunch of leftovers. So I decided to make this indulgent No Bake Saskatoon Berry Cheesecake in a Jar!~ Layers of no bake white chocolate cream cheese, Oreo cookie crumb crust and Saskatoon berry sauce make this the ideal summer cheesecake!

  • 📋 No Bake Saskatoon Berry Cheesecake in a Jar Recipe
  • 📋 More Saskatoon Berry Dessert Recipes!

Making cheesecake in individual jars was perfect for our family of 4. My daughter even put our names on them so we'd know whose was whose if we couldn't finish them. But they were hard not to finish because they were so tasty!

Now my daughter is hooked and wants to eat everything out of a mason jar! She even ate her macaroni and cheese out of a jar today. And I totally get that - eating out of a jar is fun! This made me realize that I need to make more recipes you can eat out of a jar. My Healthy Banana Foster Overnight Oats is currently the only other such recipe I have on the blog. But eating mason jar cheesecake is absolutely the best!

🥘 Ingredients

Saskatoon berries make such a great cheesecake because they have such a unique taste. They are a little more tart and nuttier than blueberries so they pair perfectly with white chocolate cream cheese and Oreo cookie crumbs. But I don't just put them straight up into the recipe- I use my cooked Saskatoon Berry Pie Filling & Sauce in this recipe and it gives it an incredible depth of flavor! It's a delicious sauce with a hint of almond and it also happens to be super versatile! It can be used a pie filling, tart filling, berry sauce/topping on pancakes, waffles, ice cream yogurt etc.., a perogy filling, Saskatoon berry ice cream (no churn) and more! I make a big batch and freeze it for future use.

  • light cream cheese

📖Variations & Substitutions

  • Saskatoon berries -you can use fresh Saskatoon berries or frozen Saskatoons to make the filling for this recipe. *If you use frozen berries, make sure to defrost them and drain off excess liquid before you measure! Alternatively, you could use blueberries and turn these into a blueberry no bake cheesecake
  • Lactose -free- Use a lactose-free cream cheese and skip the milk in the filling (or use lactose free milk)
  • WW friendly- use fat-free cream cheese
  • Base: use plain graham cracker crumbs instead of chocolate, if you desire

👪 Servings

This recipe makes 4 large servings. However, you can half or double the recipe by clicking on the blue servings and the amounts will adjust accordingly.

🍽Equipment

You will need some mason jars (affiliate link) for this cheesecake, but you will need an electric mixer (affiliate link).

🌡️Storage

Store this Saskatoon cheesecake in the same jars you make it in with seals and lids for up to 4 days. This recipe does not freeze well.

No Bake Saskatoon Berry Cheesecake is the ultimate summer cheesecake! So, if you have Saskatoon berries and you're looking for no bake desserts, then give this a try!

Summer baking when it's hot is not fun, nor is having leftover cheesecake ideal when you're trying to stay on track. That's why no bake cheesecake in a jar is perfect - it's portioned out and you can make it as big or as small as you like. You can even use smaller jars and make more portions. Although, once you try this, you'll wish you had more!

    I love how easy this looks. How do you think it would be with other berries such as blueberries?

    We love puttting desserts in mason jars! It's so handy for putting in the picnic cooler, too. I love that this is no bake because it's been sweltering here!
