AIR FRYER CHEESECAKE

Air Fryer Cheesecake is one of my favorite ways to make cheesecake this days! You’ll love this easy recipe because it’s so simple. WARNING: It’s addictive! You’ll be making cheesecake in the Air Fryer over and over again.

When I was younger I thought cheesecake was actually made with cheese and that didn’t sound very appetizing. Once I found out exactly what cheesecake is I tried it and have been hooked ever since.

I love the slight sweetness of the creamy filling and when you pair it with the lightness of the graham cracker crust it is perfection. Cheesecake can be an after-dinner dessert or it is the perfect party dish.

This recipe is for a classic cheesecake with a cherry topping, that’s two of my favorite things. Of course, you can switch your topping to your preferred flavor or just enjoy it without a topping.

Sometimes I’m in the mood for a topping on my cheesecake and sometimes I want all of that deliciousness by itself. Everyone has a preferred way of serving cheesecake and with this Air Fryer Cheesecake, you can personalize it for your family.

PRO TIPS:

Make sure that you grease the side and bottom of the springform pan so the cheesecake doesn’t stick to the sides when removing it from the pan. Place parchment paper at the bottom of the buttered springform pan.
If the cheesecake still jiggles in the center after cooking for 20-22 minutes, add an additional 2 minutes at 300 degrees until the center is no longer jiggly. It’s okay if it has a little wiggle to it.
Allow the pan to cool slightly before removing it from your air fryer and placing it in the refrigerator to chill. Chill the cheesecake for 6-8 hours or overnight so that it firms up.
Let the cheesecake stand at room temperature for 20-30 minutes before serving. It is best served cold.
Cover any leftover cheesecake and store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

AIR FRYER CHEESECAKE FAQS:
Can I use an 8″ Springform pan for this recipe?

Absolutely! If you’re able to fit a larger Springform pan in the Air Fryer, you can do that. You will need to increase the graham crackers to 2 cups and butter to ½ cup for the bottom layer. The cooking time will vary slightly and need to be adjusted to 15 minutes, and adding 2 minute increments as needed.

What is a cheesecake pan?

A cheesecake pan is another name for a Springform pan. It is a two-piece circular pan that has a spring on the sides of the pan that will remove it from the bottom of the pan when you’re finished baking.
