2. Divide mixture into 6 equal parts and press each piece into the bottom of the serving jars

Cream Cheese Layer

1. Combine all ingredients in a small bowl and whisk until incorporated. 
2. Divide into 6 equal parts and scoop into the serving jars. (If you don’t want the cream cheese going up the side, you can transfer the mixture into a piping bag or plastic bag with the tip removed to squeeze the mixture into the jars.)

2. Cook on medium until it reaches a light simmer. 
3. Transfer a ¼ cup of the mixture into a small mug or bowl. Add the arrowroot starch and whisk. Once fully mixed, add back to the saucepan and whisk for another 1 minute. 
4. Remove from the heat and allow to cool for 20 minutes before adding to the jars.
5. Sprinkle each with a dust of almond flour and top with a lemon wedge. Serve immediately or store in the fridge for up to 48 hours before serving. Allow to sit on the counter for 20 minutes before serving.
