Steps
- In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted unsalted butter until the texture resembles damp sand. Spoon the mixture into jars, about a quarter full, and press down firmly to create a solid crust base.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy, about 2 minutes. Gradually add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, then beat until light and airy, which should take another 2-3 minutes.
- In a separate chilled bowl, whip heavy cream until stiff peaks form, approximately 3-4 minutes on high speed. Gently fold half of the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture and then fold in the remaining whipped cream.
- Divide the cheesecake filling into two bowls. Tint one bowl with pink gel food coloring or freeze-dried strawberry powder to create a vibrant pink layer.
- Using a piping bag or spoon, pipe or spoon the pink cheesecake layer into the jars over the crust, filling it about halfway. Add a layer of the white cheesecake filling on top.
- Cover the jars with lids or plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the cheesecake filling to firm up properly.
- When ready to serve, pipe a generous dollop of whipped cream on top of each cheesecake jar. Garnish with pastel candy eggs and rainbow or pastel sprinkles for a cheerful finish.

Notes
Refrigerate the jars for up to 3 days to maintain their creamy texture and flavors. For longer storage, freeze the jars for up to 1 month. Add toppings right before serving to keep them fresh.
