No bake blueberry cheesecake yum jar

I got inspired by a recipe I pinned in Pinterest No Bake Raspberry-Lemon Cheesecake
For the crust:
3/4 cup graham cookie crumbs
1 tablespoon of sugar
3 tablespoons of unsalted butter, melted
For the filling:
1 can of blueberry pie filling
1 package (8ounces) of cream cheese, softened
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
1 tub (8 ounces) of light whipped cream topping
Preparation:
1-In a medium bowl mix the graham crackers, 1 tablespoon of sugar and melted butter. Evenly divide in each mason jar and press down on the bottom to form a crust.
2-In a large bowl with an electric mixer, beat the cream cheese until smooth.
3-Add the whipped cream and vanilla extract and mix until combined.
4-Add the blueberry pie filling and fold.
5-Evenly distribute the mix into the mason jars. Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours so it can set.
6-You may use some graham cookie crust mixture to top it off and add some crunch.
Enjoy, Bon Appétit, Buen Provecho!

Rice pudding – Arroz con leche

Any day is a good day for Rice Pudding. In Panama we normally make it whenever a baby gets a new tooth. This means we get to eat it a lot during the baby’s first year of life! 🙂
