Cheesecake

Cheesecake is a custard, so the goal is gentle, even heat that sets the center without cracking or overcooking the edges. Sous vide turns it into a repeatable process: jar the batter, cook to a precise temperature, then chill to lock in that dense, silky texture. This guide covers doneness targets, chill time, and finishing touches so you get a flawless slice every time.

Cooking time depends on thickness, not weight. Measure at the thickest part.
