Five ways to make an unbeatable cheesecake
Begin by combining all ingredients in a large bowl and whisk until the mixture forms a smooth, consistent cream. Line a baking tray with parchment, taking care not to leave any paper at the edges where it could burn under the fryer’s heat.
Choose a mold that fits easily inside the air fryer basket so the batter cooks evenly.
Pour the batter into the mold. Turn on the air fryer and set the temperature to 160 degrees. Let it warm up for five minutes, then insert the mold and close the basket. Allow the cheesecake to bake for about 35 minutes.
When the time passes, open the basket again. The surface should be golden. Remove the mold and let the cake cool at room temperature for a few minutes. Then refrigerate for 6 hours or overnight. Unmold and serve the next day for best results.
There is no need for extra toppings, though a touch of jam can be added if desired.
