I’m a sucker for layered desserts in a jar. They present so nicely, and are perfect for entertaining. No slicing required – just pass out those jars. The kids and I shopped this week and picked up whipped cream, shortbread cookies, and salted caramel topping. What would you make with those three items?
We decided on these adorably tasty salted caramel cheesecakes. Grab your jelly jars and locate the ingredients. The first step was to mash up the cookies. I love shortbread cookies and I knew it would lend well to that sweet pie-crust taste. You don’t need a food processor, just bag them and smash away. Divide crumbs in half between two small jelly jars.
Next, I whipped together the cream cheese, light cream, powdered sugar and vanilla. At first I tried to start whipping everything together with a fork, but that’s a bit difficult to do and you want the ingredients to be nice and cold, so break out the beater for this step. Beat on high speed for a few minutes or until all lumps are gone. Evenly distribute the mixture between the two jars, layering overtop the cookie crumbs.
Next, just spoon a few tablespoons of the salted caramel topping right on top of the cream cheese. Repeat for the second jar. Go ahead and lick that spoon; I won’t tell. If you’re not serving right away, you can store the desserts in the refrigerator to chill. Add a generous portion of whipped topping right before serving.

I can’t get the facebook link to work today. But I’m in :)
NOT sure what’s up with this giveaway form because I shared pics on FB, Twitter, & Instagram using #SundeaFundaySweepstakes and could NOT claim my 30 entries. Which really stinks & lowers my chance of winning..
More info: Once you see your picture pop up after the click the button that says 10+ Per Day, you have to click on the picture that pops up that should already be on your feed, and after that the button will become green and you can hit accept.
These look so decadent and they are perfect little treats for any family gathering. We don’t have a Kroger near us but I’ve always been curious about them since they seem to have some really great deals.
Goodness, you should warn pregnant women before they come over here to your blog LOL This looks amazing!!! I can almost taste it through the screen!
These sound amazing. We are big cheesecake fans in our house and believe it or not have not tried a salted caramel one!
This looks like a delicious treat. I will have to get the ingredients I need to make some on the weekend.
No complicated ingredients, simple recipe, and mouth watering cheesecake :) Thanks
I absolutely love salted caramel and with cheesecake, oh my! I’m loving the simplicity of this recipe. It’s likely to make an appearance at my house sometime soon.
Kroger seems like it a store with a ton of sales and I wish we had one near where I live but there are no kroggers near me. THe salted carmel cheese cake looks like a great treat for the summer.
