The precise temperature control sous vide cooking isn't just for big cuts of protein - it's arguably even better for setting desserts. Case in point: can't-mess-it-up, dainty cheesecakes. Make these the day before Valentine's, and garnish with a bit of fruit just before serving for a decadent deal-sealer of a dessert.

Ingredients

Directions
  • Bring a sous vide bath up to 175F.
  • Combine cream cheese, Vintage Spiced Chocolate Cane Sugar, and California Sea Salt in a food processor, pulsing 4 or 5 times until blended.
  • Pour in eggs and heavy cream, and churn on low for around 30 seconds, until well combined. 
  • Pour off mixture into 6 mini mason jars, leaving around 1/4" of headroom. Tap down several times to remove any air bubbles, and pour/scrape in remaining mixture, if any.
  • Screw lids on finger tight, and carefully place in the hot bath. 
  • Cook for 1 hour, then remove and rest in the fridge overnight, or for up to 4 days.
  • Serve in mason jars topped with a dollop more of cream, some finely diced berries, and devour.
