Sous vide takes all the guesswork out of making cheesecake.
This sous vide cheesecake recipe has a double stuf Oreo crust. Satisfy your Oreo cookie cheesecake sweet tooth. You will love this easy Oreo cheesecake recipe.
I have been making cheesecake for the better part of my life. Normally I would have to wrap foil around the bottom of a springform pan and place it in a hot water bath to get even cooking and prevent cracking. It is a big mess and chances are I would have a leak. I always had a leak.
With this sous vide cheesecake method there is not leaking, there is no cracking, there is not excessive browning. There is not wondering if the center is completely set or not or if it will fall when you take it out.

New to sous vide? I explain in simple terms everything I know about sous vide cooking.
Make the double stuf Oreo crust
- In a food processor, blend the 6 double stuf Oreos. Pulse until the Oreos make a crust that forms when squeezed.
- The extra filling will make the crust the correct consistency.
- If you don't have the double stuf Oreos, just add a few tablespoons of melted butter.
Make the cheesecake batter
- In a food processor, blend the cream cheese and the sugar.
- Add the sour cream, zest of the lemon.
- Add the eggs one at a time and blend after each addition
- Scrape down the bowl and blend one more time.
Assemble The Cheesecakes
- Press a tablespoon of the Oreo crust into the bottom of a 4-ounce mason jar.
- Pour the cheesecake batter into each jar and stop just below the threads of the jar.
- Wipe down the rim and place on a lid and a ring.
- Lower into the sous vide water and set the timer to cook.
- Make sure there is enough water in the pot to fully cover the jars.
Cooking Sous vide the cheesecake jars
- Cook the cheesecake for 60 or 90 minutes.
- Remove from the water and refrigerate until chilled.
In my app it gave two different times for looking the cheesecake. I wanted to see if there was any significant difference. In my opinion, there was little to no difference. But if I HAD to pick a difference I would say that the cheesecake on the right, at 90 minutes, was denser. My take away here is that 60 minutes in minimum but 90 minutes won't hurt anything.
I did tap the jars, ok I banged them, on the counter to remove air bubbles. Looks like I missed a few!
Garnish with an extra Oreo crumb crust and enjoy!
I can tell you with confidence that if you fill the jars to just under the threads on the mason jars, there will be enough room to place a full double stuf Oreo cookie under the lid and ring. Do this only after the cheesecake has chilled completely.
