How to make this recipe

Make the graham cracker crust. Crush crackers with a rolling pan or pulse in a food processor until they are finely ground. Add the melted butter and mix well. Using an ice cream scoop or spoon divide the crumbs into jars. Press the graham cracker crumbs with a spoon or spatula into the bottom of the jars. Put filled jars into the fridge to cool. Meanwhile, prepare cheesecake filling. 

In the mixing bowl beat heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Set aside. Add cream cheese to a separate mixing bowl. Beat until smooth. Add sifted powdered sugar and beat again. Fold gently half of the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture. Once incorporated, fold in the remaining whipped cream. Fill jars with cheesecake, leaving space for strawberry filling. 

Tip from Marina: Add cheesecake mixture into a pastry bag fitted with a round tip and fill jars. 

Add the strawberries to a saucepan and cook over medium heat until strawberries begin to break down and release their juice. In the small bowl, add the sugar and cornstarch. Stir until combined. 

Add the sugar and cornstarch mixture to the strawberries. Stir to combine. Reduce heat to low and cook until the sauce starts to thicken, approximately 1-2 minutes. Allow the strawberry filling to cool completely before spooning over the cheesecake. Top cheesecake with chopped pistachios. These no-bake cheesecakes are best served cold.
