New to sous vide? I explain in simple terms everything I know about sous vide cooking.

Instructions

Set Up Sous Vide

Place your sous vide machine in a large pot of water and set the temperature to 176°F (80°C).

A wooden spoon is being used to stir Oreo cheesecake into jars.

Make the Crust

In a food processor, pulse the Oreos until fine crumbs form.
Press 1 tablespoon of crumbs into the bottom of each mason jar.

Prepare the Filling

In the food processor, blend the cream cheese and sugar until smooth.
Add the sour cream and lemon zest, then blend again.
Add the eggs one at a time, blending after each addition.
Scrape down the sides and blend until fully combined.

Assemble the Cheesecakes

Pour the cheesecake mixture into the jars, filling just below the threads.
Wipe the rims clean and seal with lids.

Tip for no bubbles

Tap the jars gently on the counter to remove air bubbles before cooking.

Cook Sous Vide

Lower the jars into the water bath and cook for 60-90 minutes (60 minutes for a lighter texture, 90 minutes for a denser cheesecake).

60 or 90 minutes?

Cook the cheesecakes for 60 minutes for a lighter texture or 90 minutes for a denser cheesecake. Both times work well, so choose based on your preference
