Ingredients
Scale
For the Graham Crust
- 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
For the Cheesecake Filling
- 16 oz (450 g) cream cheese, softened
- 2/3 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Crust: In a bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter until the mixture resembles wet sand. Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of a greased 6-inch springform pan to form the crust.
- Make the Filling: In a separate bowl, beat softened cream cheese with sugar until smooth and creamy. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Optionally, stir in vanilla extract for added flavor.
- Assemble the Cheesecake: Pour the cream cheese filling over the prepared graham cracker crust in the pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
- Preheat the Air Fryer: Set your air fryer to 320°F (160°C) and allow it to preheat for about 3-5 minutes.
- Air Fry the Cheesecake: Place the springform pan carefully into the air fryer basket. Cook for approximately 25-30 minutes or until the edges are set and the center slightly jiggles when shaken gently.
- Cool and Chill: Remove the cheesecake from the air fryer and let it cool at room temperature for 1 hour. Then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow the cheesecake to fully set and develop flavor.
- Serve: Once chilled, run a knife around the edges, remove the springform pan sides, slice, and enjoy your creamy air fryer cheesecake.
Notes
- Using a 6-inch springform pan fits best in most air fryer baskets and allows for even cooking.
- Make sure the cream cheese is fully softened to avoid lumps in the filling.
- Do not overcook the cheesecake; the center should have a slight jiggle when done to ensure creaminess.
- Letting the cheesecake chill overnight improves texture and flavor.
- If your air fryer heats unevenly, rotate the pan halfway through cooking for consistent results.
