Air Fryer Basque Cheesecake Recipe (Easy 3 Ingredient Breakfast) 🍰✨
The Air Fryer Basque Cheesecake is a delightful twist on the classic dessert, known for its creamy interior and burnt top. With just three main ingredients, this cheesecake is perfect for a quick and indulgent breakfast treat that will impress anyone who tries it.
Ingredients
- 2 cups cream cheese softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar adjust to taste
- 4 large eggs at room temperature
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract for flavor
- 1/4 cup heavy cream to enhance creaminess
- 1/2 teaspoon salt to balance sweetness
- parchment paper for lining the pan
Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer to 320°F (160°C) for about 5 minutes. Line a round springform pan with parchment paper, ensuring the paper comes up the sides to avoid sticking.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add in the granulated sugar, mixing until well combined and fluffy.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then, incorporate the vanilla extract, heavy cream, and salt until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy.
- Pour the cheesecake mixture into the prepared springform pan. Tap the pan gently on the counter to release any air bubbles.
- Place the pan in the air fryer basket and cook for about 25 minutes, or until the top is a deep golden brown and the center is slightly jiggly.
- After cooking, allow the cheesecake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before carefully removing it. Let it cool completely at room temperature.
- Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before slicing and serving. Enjoy your delicious Air Fryer Basque Cheesecake either plain or topped with fresh berries.
