No Bake Cheesecake in a Jar

Did you know I'm on Facebook?  Click {here} to follow along!   There are many wonderful things to be said about living in the middle of the country.  I realize that to many of you, the Midwestern Plains are regarded as little more than “fly-over” states, but I’m perfectly happy to call it home.  It’s lovely – peaceful and laid back, slow-paced and friendly. Except, perhaps, when it’s over 100 degrees outside for the umpteenth day in a row, and it’s hardly rained at all and my beloved garden is wilting away before my very eyes.  It’s melt-your-mascara hot.  It’s eat-ice-cream-for-breakfast-lunch-and-dinner hot.  It’s ridiculous.   So, I'm pouting.  I'm pouting because it's hot, I have no beach, and my suntan is already starting to fade.  And when I pout, I bake.  It's lucky for my family that I pout a lot. But needless to say, because it's so HOT, I haven’t turned my oven on for a while now – which is why I was thrilled when I came across these cute little mason jars in the canning section of our grocery store.  I know that I just made No Bake Cheesecakes not too long ago, but I promise that this recipe is different.  This one is more like a parfait, but has a perfectly satisfying cheesecake flavor and you don't even have to turn on your oven.
