I discovered mason jar cheesecakes on Pinterest one day, and I was immediately intrigued. A cheesecake recipe is always a go for me, but a cheesecake recipe you can literally put in your backpack to take on a hike? Even better! My special pal and I made these cheesecakes for a picnic that we went on a few weeks ago, and boy, was that one of the greatest decisions we made that day!

I work at a bakery, and they have these cute mini pastries, so I made it my mission to create a recipe utilizing them. I am a big fan of cheesecake, so I decided to fill these pastries with a no-bake cheesecake filling, and they were a huge hit with my family!
