Equipment
- 1 Air fryer
- 1 Springform pan
- 1 Bowl
- 1 Hand mixer
Ingredients
Base:
- 150 g Digestive biscuits
- 75 g melted butter
Filling:
- 600 g cream cheese
- 150 g sugar
- 2 tbsp plain flour
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 pcs eggs
100 ml crème fraîche
Instructions
- Crush the 150 g Digestive biscuits finely and mix them with 75 g melted butter. Press the mixture firmly into the base of an 18 cm (Ø) springform tin (it must fit in the basket).Put it in the fridge while you make the filling.
- Preheat the air fryer to 145 °C.(Pre-program it, or let it run for a couple of minutes before cooking)
- In a large bowl, whisk 600 g cream cheese and 150 g sugar together until smooth (use cream cheese and eggs at room temperature, so the filling turns smooth without long whisking). Add 2 tbsp plain flour and 1 tsp vanilla extract, and whisk again.
- Add the 2 pcs eggs one at a time, mixing on the lowest speed after each egg, just until blended – don't whisk air into the filling. Stir in 100 ml crème fraîche until evenly combined.
- Pour the filling over the biscuit base and smooth the top with a spatula.
- Place the springform tin in the air fryer. Bake at 145 °C for about 40 min, until the edge is set and the centre still wobbles slightly.Start the online kitchen timer here
- Turn off the air fryer and let the cheesecake rest in the air fryer for about 1 hour with the drawer closed.
- Take the cheesecake out and let it cool completely at room temperature before chilling it in the fridge for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
Notes
The cheesecake may crack on top, which is normal.
Cooling the cake slowly can reduce this.
It can be decorated with fresh fruit, berries or whipped cream to hide any cracks.
