Can I freeze these cheesecake jars?

Absolutely, Freeze them without toppings for up to a month. Thaw in the fridge overnight, then add candy canes before serving. The texture stays dreamy—just don't microwave them (hello, soup-like mess).

How do I make them less sweet?

Easy—cut the powdered sugar to 1/3 cup and use just 1/2 tsp peppermint extract. Taste as you go.

Can I use regular sugar instead of powdered?

Nope, powdered sugar has cornstarch that helps thicken the filling. Granulated sugar will make it grainy (learned that the hard way).

Why did my filling separate?

Probably overmixed the whipped cream—gentle folding is key. If it happens, just call it a "peppermint parfait" and serve it anyway.
