Easy Air Fryer Cheesecakes — No pan or crust is needed.
Ingredients:
8 oz Cream cheese (226 g), softened
1 Egg
1/3 cup All-purpose Flour (can sub for low-carb flour of choice)
2 TBS Granulated sugar (Can substitute for preferred granulated sweetener of your choice)
2 TBS Semolina (Optional)
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
Spray oil
Optional, but recommended toppings:
Sour cream
Powdered sugar
Fruit
Instructions:
1. In a mixing bowl add all ingredients: Cream cheese, egg, flour, sugar, semolina, and baking soda.
2. Using a spoon or fork, mix all ingredients together until well combined.
3. Divide the mixture into 6 even parts.
4. Using your hands pick up one part and roll it into a ball. If the dough is too sticky (and this mixture will be sticky), roll the ball lightly in the flour. Or scoop the mixture using a spoon.
5. Place onto air fryer basket or tray, lined with Air Fryer parchment paper. Or use a regular parchment paper cut to fit the basket.
6. Gently shape the ball and press it into a pancake shape and make it approx. 3/4 inch thick. If the pancake is too sticky, gently pat it with a bit of flour.
7. Lightly spray cheesecakes with oil. I use Ghee butter oil spray.
8. Preheat air fryer to 350F/180C for 3 minutes
9. Air fry (air crisp mode) at 350F/180C for 5 minutes
10. Open air fryer, flip each cheesecake on the other side, lightly spray with oil, and fry for an additional 3-4 minutes or until golden brown with a crispy caramelized crust.
11. Transfer to a plate, let cool a bit and serve with your favorite topping, like powdered sugar, and top with some fruits. Delicious with a dollop of sour cream on top. Enjoy
