Slim Chickens added a new dessert to its lineup today. The Strawberry Cheesecake Jar is now available at all 294 Slim Chickens locations nationwide through the fall, served in the brand’s signature take-home mason jar format.

The build is straightforward: New York-style cheesecake layered with fresh hand-cut strawberries and whipped cream. Clean execution of a classic flavor profile in a format that actually travels well.

Why the Mason Jar Format Works

Slim Chickens’ jar desserts have been one of the brand’s quiet wins. The mason jar protects layered desserts better than a cup or plate for takeout and delivery. The whipped cream stays on top, the cheesecake layers hold, and the fruit does not bleed into everything else.

“The Strawberry Cheesecake Jar delivers a familiar, craveable flavor that pairs perfectly with our core menu while still feeling like a treat worth going out of your way for,” said Chef Andrew Ruga, Director of Culinary.

The Fresh Fruit Detail Matters

Most fast-casual desserts use fruit sauce or puree. Fresh hand-cut strawberries at this scale is a real kitchen commitment and the key differentiator here. The chain ran a Cherry Cheesecake Jar last September that drove strong dessert attach rates. The strawberry version is the spring-summer play.

Availability

The Strawberry Cheesecake Jar is available now at all Slim Chickens locations and through the app through the fall. Longer window than most LTOs, but it will not be a permanent menu item. Find your nearest location at slimchickens.com.
