Quick and Easy Air Fryer Mini Cheesecakes

This dessert features rich cream cheese blended with sugar and eggs, baked in a buttery crust and cooked to perfection in the air fryer. The recipe takes about 30 minutes from start to finish and yields 4 individual cheesecakes.

Ingredients

1 cup graham cracker crumbs
3 tablespoons sugar
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
8 oz cream cheese, softened
1/3 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 large egg
1/2 cup sour cream

Instructions

Prepare the Crust: In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated.
Form the Bases: Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of 4 silicone muffin cups or ramekins to form the crust.
Make the Filling: In another bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add the sugar, vanilla extract, and egg, mixing until fully combined. Then fold in the sour cream until smooth.

Fill the Cups: Pour the cheesecake filling evenly over the prepared crust in each cup.
Air Fry: Preheat the air fryer to 320°F (160°C). Place the cups in the air fryer basket and cook for about 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers are slightly jiggly.
Cool and Serve: Allow the mini cheesecakes to cool at room temperature for a few minutes, then refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving. Enjoy them plain or with your favorite toppings.
