Cheesecake
- Add the heavy cream to a large mixing bowl. Beat using a hand mixe ron medium until stiff peaks form. Set aside.
- Add the cream cheese to a separate large mixing bowl. Beat until smooth.
- Add the vanilla, sugar, lemon juice, and salt into the cream cheese. Continue mixing until completely combined.
- Fold half of the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture.
- Once incorporated, fold in the remaining whipped cream.
- Add the cheesecake mixture into a piping back fitted with a round tip or just a coupler. Pipe the mixture evenly into the 6 mason jars.
Cherry Pie Filling
- Add the cherries to a saucepan and cover with a lid. Cook over medium heat until the cherries begin to break down and release their juice.
- In a small bowl, add the sugar and cornstarch. Stir until combined.
- Once the cherries break down, add the sugar and cornstarch mixture to the cherries. Stir to combine. Allow the cherries to return to a simmer and reduce the heat too low. Continue cooking until the sauce has thickened, approximately 2 minutes.
- Allow the cherry pie filling to cool completely before spooning over the cheesecake.
- Cover and refrigerate the jars until ready to serve or overnight.
