All your cheesecake dreams are going to come true once you make Sous Vide Vanilla Bean Cheesecake. Individual sizes are the perfect amount to satisfy all cheesecake cravings!
Guys! I have been dying to share this recipe for weeks now! Sous Vide Vanilla Bean Cheesecake is everything and pretty much life changing!
I am a big cheesecake fan. Who isn't?! But I rarely make it. Just for special occasions and when I have the extra time. My mom makes THE BEST white chocolate cheesecake that is to die for and I am always wanting to make it for us.
It is one of those things that always sounds good that I always want to make but, Justin and I can't eat a whole cheesecake by ourselves and then just have the rest laying around. Plus it takes a long time to make and when it comes down to it you just can't whip up a batch like you can cookies. If you're really craving it just grab a slice from Cheesecake Factory.
Until now!
All my cheesecake cravings and dilemmas have been solved since getting a Sous Vide. Remember those Egg White Bites that I made a couple of weeks ago? Remember how they are made in cute little mason jars? Well, guess what else can be made in cute little mason jars??
Ding ding ding -- CHEESECAKE
I can hear the crowd going wild now. Oh wait, that's just my belly - I haven't eaten yet and all this cheesecake talk has me hungry. 🙂
I am not going to lie to you. Anything and everything that may be difficult or hard about cheesecake have totally gone out the window when you make it with the Sous Vide. It is quick, easy, turns out perfect every time AND the best part of all?! Those little 4 ounce jars you cook them in are the perfect serving size!
I mean, this is my favorite thing to make in the Sous Vide yet!
Here's the deal.
1 block of cream cheese (plus the rest of the ingredients needed) will perfectly fill 6 mason jars. You can double, triple, etc. for however many you need or want but I usually just make one batch at a time.
I have also made this with and without the crust. The crust won't be as crunchy as when you bake it and I actually kinda like it without it. You can add it, leave it or make it and sprinkle it on top after for a cute little topping. It is versatile for whatever your mood is.
All you need to do is in a large bowl mix the cream cheese until all the lumps are out. Then add in the rest of the ingredients. Mix until well combined and smooth and pour evenly 6 jars. Seal to fingertip tightness and place in the Sous Vide water bath that has been heated to 175 degrees for 1 ½ hours.
You can enjoy warm right away or let it cool in the fridge and enjoy later. It is so smooth and fluffy, you will literally be blown away by how easy this is every. single. time.
Enjoy plain because it is downright delicious or top with fresh fruit, salted caramel, chocolate ganache. Really whatever your little heart desires.
So say goodbye to those days wishing you could just have a couple of bites of cheesecake and say hello to the Sous Vide way that makes it possible for you!

Cheesecake

- 1 Egg
- 1 Teaspoon Vanilla Paste (Vanilla Extract will work if you do not have the paste)
- 4 Tablespoons Sugar
Instructions
- Preheat a large pot or tub of water with the sous vide. Set to 175 degrees and turn on to start warming up the water.
Crust
- In a food processor, blender or ziplock baggie - add in graham crackers. Pulse until finely ground. Add in the sugar, melted butter, salt, and mix until well combined.
- Add 1 tablespoon of crust to the bottom of 6 - 4 ounce mason jars. Pack tightly in the bottom.
