- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 2 tablespoons melted butter

I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you the Spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know him better. I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in his holy people, and his incomparably great power for us who believe. That power is the same as the mighty strength he exerted when he raised Christ from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly realms. *Ephesians 1:17-20*

Instructions

Created on April 11th, 2011

  1. Make sure your jars are clean and dry before starting.

  2. For the graham crackers, either crush 1 package in a food processor or buy the crumbs already crushed (that's the easy way!).

  3. After you have crumbs, melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a medium mixing bowl.

  4. Add the graham cracker crumbs and 1 tablespoon sugar. Mix together and set aside.

  5. In another medium mixing bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth.

  6. Add sweetened condensed milk and beat for 3 minutes, scraping bottom as needed to make sure all the cream cheese is incorporated.

  7. Add 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice and beat for another minute.

  8. Time to fill your jars :)

    • Spoon 2 heaping teaspoons of graham cracker mixture into the bottom of a clean glass jar.

    • Next, layer 2 tablespoons of cream cheese mixture on top of the graham cracker crust.

    • Next, layer 2 tablespoons of cherry pie filling on top. Spread around to coat the top.

    • Spray a topping of Redi-whip on top of pie filling.

    • Smooth it with a spoon and repeat all layers, ending with the Redi-whip.

  9. Place lid on jar and refrigerate at least 1 hour before serving.

  10. These will keep for a couple of days if you want to make them ahead of time.
