No-Bake-Cheesecake-Mousse-with-Cherry-Compote
To make the compote, add the sugar, water, lemon juice and salt to a pot and bring to simmer. Stir to dissolve and then add the pitted cherries. Stir to coat, lower the heat and simmer for about 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and allow to cool.
Make the mousse by mixing together the cream cheese, sugar and salt until fully incorporated. You can do this by hand or with a mixer. Stir in the whipped cream and lemon juice.
Add about a tablespoon of the crumbled graham crackers to the bottom of a mason jar or serving dish. Spoon in a bit of the cheesecake mousse followed by a spoonful or two of the cherry compote. Repeat the layers until you reach the top of the jar or dish.
