12 ounces cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup sugar
3/4 cup sour cream
1 teaspoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon lemon zest
3 large eggs

9 whole graham crackers
1 tablespoon sugar
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Directions
Special equipment:
an immersion circulator, ten 4-ounce glass canning jars with lids, quarter-sheet pan- For the i.c. mini cheesecake filling: Install an immersion circulator in a water bath and set it to 160 degrees F.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat the cream cheese and sugar on high until fluffy, about 4 minutes. Scrape down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula after 1 minute.
- Lower the mixer speed to medium and add the sour cream, lemon juice and lemon zest and continue beating until incorporated, about 30 seconds
- Drop the speed to low and add the eggs one at a time, waiting 30 seconds between each egg. Mix until completely incorporated, about 1 minute more.
- Fill ten 4-ounce glass canning jars with lids with the batter, leaving half an inch of headspace. Lid tightly and place in the water bath for 45 minutes.
- Retrieve the jars from the water bath and cool for 1 hour at room temperature before refrigerating for at least 2 hours before serving.
- For the i.c. mini cheesecake topping:
- Heat oven to 300 degrees F.
- Pulse the crackers, sugar and salt in the bowl of a food processor until they become coarse crumbs. Add the melted butter and pulse a few more times.
- Pack the crumb mixture into an even layer on a parchment-lined quarter-sheet pan. Bake for 15 minutes. Cool and then crumble over cheesecakes before serving.
