Individual Cheesecake desserts

My son works in a grocery store and he brought home these super cute jelly jars for me, what an awesome fella!

Aside from using them to can jellies, I thought they would be perfect to use for individual desserts! So I filled them with a vanilla wafer crushed in the bottom for a crust, and an easy creamy cheesecake filling:

Then I topped them with a luscious blackberry syrup:

Creamy Cheesecake filling:
1 - 8 oz. package of cream cheese
1/2 cup granulated white sugar
1 - 8 oz. tub whipped topping
1 tsp. vanilla or 1 tsp. lemon juice (fresh squeezed)
Beat the cream cheese until smooth, add the sugar and mix until combined. Add the vanilla or lemon juice. On low speed, add the whipped topping and beat only until combined.

Blackberry syrup
1 pint container of blackberries
1 cup sugar
2 TBS water
Add all to a saucepan and heat over medium until thickened, about 5 minutes. Stir frequently. Let cool completely before spooning over the cheesecake mixture.

To make individual desserts:
Crumble 1 or 2 vanilla wafer cookies in the bottom of the jar, use an ice cream scoop to spoon in the cheesecake filling and top with the cooled blackberry syrup. Chill at least one hour before serving. Enjoy!
