Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
  2. Spray each 4-ounce mason jar with non-stick cooking spray. Coat well to ensure crust doesn't stick.
  3. In a medium bowl, combine graham crackers, melted butter, and 2 Tablespoons sugar.
  4. Place heaping tablespoon of crumb mixture into each mason jar. Tamp down to make crust (I used the back of my whisk).
  5. In mixer, mix cream cheese and ¾ cup sugar until smooth.
  6. Add eggs, one at a time, until eggs are incorporated.
  7. Add sour cream and vanilla. Mix well.
  8. Spoon ⅓ cup filling into each jar.
  9. Place jars in large roasting pan. Fill pan with hot water halfway up the mason jars.
  10. Bake for 30 minutes.
  11. Remove jars with tongs and cool on wire rack.
  12. OPTIONAL TOPPING: once cool, sprinkle each cheesecake with ground oreos. Garnish with mini oreo.
