    How many jars of cheesecake does this recipe make?

    This recipe for sous vide grasshopper cheesecake will make 6, 4 ounce, jars. It can easily be doubled or tripled. The recipe card has the ability to adjust the ingredients needed when you hover your mouse over the '6' by the 'servings' and slide it to the amount of 4-ounce jars you would like to make. 

    How long will grasshopper cheesecake in jars keep in the refrigerator?

    I keep my grasshopper cheesecake in jars in the refrigerator for up to a week. They never last that long but I found they will be at their optimum for up to a week after placing them in the fridge.

    Can grasshopper cheesecake be frozen?

    Cheesecake does very well in the freezer. You can even add the chopped Andes mint candies to the jar before closing the lid before freezing. 

    How do you thaw frozen cheesecakes in jars?

    I pull my cheesecakes in jars out of the freezer a day in advance and allow them to thaw in the refrigerator for a day. 

    Sous vide dessert recipes:

    • Sous Vide Creme Brulee
    • Sous Vide Oreo Cheesecake
    • Sous Vide Lemon Curd
    • Sous Vide Mascarpone Cheese

    Are sous vide cheesecakes in jars shelf stable?

    These cheesecakes in jars are NOT shelf-stable. These cheesecakes need to be refrigerated.
