Step 1 - The graham cracker base

Cut the dried figs into quarters and crush them together with the graham crackers using a chopper.

Meanwhile, melt the butter in a small pan on the stove or in the microwave (in a microwave-safe bowl).

Pour the melted butter over the cracker crumbs and mix well.
Now take six preserving jars and divide the crumb mixture among the jars. Press tightly together in the jar to form a firm base.
Once you've created the fig graham cracker base in the jars, please put them in the fridge for 30 minutes.

Step 2 - The cheesecake cream

Add the cream cheese, mascarpone, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract to a large mixing bowl.
7 oz Cream cheese, 5 oz Mascarpone, ¾ cup Icing sugar, 1 tsp Vanilla extract
Whip with the whisk attachment for two to three minutes on medium-high speed until a creamy mixture forms.
Fill the cream into a pastry bag and take the chilled preserving jars out of the refrigerator.
Divide the finished cheesecake batter between the jars.

Step 3 - The fig decoration

Snag your fresh fig, cut it into six halves, and set it aside.
1 Fresh fig
Add the fig jam by the spoonful on top of each cream cheese filling, and place one piece of fresh fig on top of this sweet treat.

Now the jar cheesecakes are ready to be served and enjoyed!
