No-bake peach cheesecake in a jar

What's better than cheesecake? A no-bake cheesecake. In this version I made individual peach-flavored cheesecakes that require no baking and are also served in jars. These sweet little dessert jars are perfect for picnics, beach days or just for snacking while watching portion size.
