They say you eat with your eyes first, right? If that is true, then I’m really sorry but I’ve just eaten all of these gorgeous fruit topped cheesecakes in a jar. Sorry, not sorry 😉 No worries though. They are so easy to whip up that I’ll have another batch ready in no time … you bring the stretchy pants, ok?

I could look at these pretty little things all day. There is the crunchy khaki crust, soft creamy white filling and then an EXPLOSION of colorful fruit piled on top!

Speaking of fruit, I used a variety of dried and freeze dried fruits. I hit up my local bulk food store but I’ve seen a pretty good selection of dried fruits at my local grocery store, Target, Walmart and ALDI. And of course, you will hit the mother lode of dried fruit on Amazon. (aff link) You can use fresh fruit if you so choose, but since I’m a no-fuss food kind of girl, I was perfectly happy with no chopping, dicing, peeling or seeding to do.

The rainbow fruit I used to top these cheesecakes is below:

  • Red: Freeze dried strawberry slices and mixed dried red berries (strawberries, goji berries, raspberries, tart cherries)
  • Orange: Dried apricots (You could also use papaya, mango, cantelope or oranges.)
  • Yellow: Banana Chips and dried pineapple chunks (Dried apples or apple chips would work, too.)
  • Green: Dried/sugared kiwi slices (I’ve also seen dried honeydew melon chunks.)
  • Blue: Dried blueberries
  • Purple: Raisins (You could use prunes.)

Once you have all that colorful fruit, pile it around on top of each cheesecake in ROYGBIV order.

This recipes makes 6 generous Rainbow Fruit Cheesecakes in a Jar. I used these Kerr half pint mason jars because I love the smooth sides (the better to see all those lovely layers) and the wide mouth. (These are the same jars I used for these Berry Sweet Mason Jar Valentines.)

If you want 12 servings or just smaller portions, use 4 oz. mason jars and divide the crust and filling accordingly.
