Instructions

In a bowl, combine 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs with 5 tablespoons melted butter and 2 tablespoons sugar. Mix until the texture resembles wet sand, then press about 2 tablespoons into the bottom of each jar. Chill for 20 minutes to firm up.
In a food processor, blend 1 1/2 cups cottage cheese until completely smooth, about 1 to 2 minutes. Add 8 ounces softened cream cheese, 1/3 cup sugar, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, then blend again until creamy and lump free.
Spoon the filling evenly over the chilled crusts, smoothing the tops with a spatula. Tap jars gently on the counter to remove air bubbles. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
In a bowl, mix 1 1/2 cups finely chopped strawberries with 1 tablespoon lemon juice and 1 to 2 tablespoons sugar if desired. Let sit 10 minutes to release juices or cook briefly for a thicker topping, then cool completely.
Spoon the cooled strawberry mixture over each cheesecake cup. Chill for another 1 to 2 hours before serving. Garnish with whipped cream if desired.

Notes

Blend cottage cheese thoroughly for the smoothest texture.
Chill overnight for a firmer consistency.
Keep topping separate if storing longer than one day.
Use full fat cream cheese for richer flavor.
