Key Ingredients & Substitutions

1. Almond flour – Creates the perfect gluten-free crust (can use gluten-free graham crackers)

Step-by-Step Success Tips

1. Making the Perfect Crust

• Pulse almond flour with melted butter until it resembles wet sand

• Press firmly into jars – about 2 tbsp per jar

2. Creating the Filling

• Whip room temperature cream cheese first for smoothest texture

• Add yogurt gradually to prevent lumps

• Taste before adding sweetener – adjust to preference

3. Layering Like a Pro

• Use piping bag for neat layers

• Leave ½ inch at top for garnishes

• Tap jars gently to remove air bubbles

Storage & Serving Suggestions

• Fridge: 5 days in airtight containers

• Freezer: 1 month (thaw overnight in fridge)

• Toppings add just before serving to maintain texture

• Perfect for: Meal prep, parties, or special treats
