Top each jar with a reserved strawberry slice. Cover the jars with lids and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or up to 3 days, to allow the flavors to meld and the filling to set. (120 minutes)
For a richer flavor, use browned butter in the crust.
A sprinkle of sea salt on top of the crust adds a delightful contrast.
Substitute other berries like blueberries or raspberries for a seasonal twist.
For a vegan version, use vegan cream cheese, butter, and cookies.
