1 vanilla bean, split and seeds scraped out

1 teaspoon powdered gelatin
5 to 6 graham crackers (full sheets), coarsely crushed (1 cup)
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
2 teaspoons granulated sugar
1/2 cup your favorite berry jam

Directions:
Beat together the cream cheese and confectioners' sugar, in a large bowl, with an electric mixer on medium speed until well combined, about 2 minutes. Add in the sour cream, vanilla bean seeds and a pinch of salt and beat on medium-high speed until well combined, about 3 minutes.

Mix the crushed graham crackers, butter and granulated sugar in a small bowl until moist.
Spoon the graham cracker mixture into the bottom of four 6-ounce glass mason jars (don't press it down).
