Air-Fryer Cheesecake Recipe (2024)

Can you use a convection oven instead for this recipe?

If you fold a piece of aluminum foil into a 2" strip you can use it to lower and raise the springform pan more easily (and safely).

As I understand it, yes. A convection oven and air fryer are essentially the same thing. I’d like to hear from other minds on this as well…

I made this today. What a cinch!!I had some gingerbread cookies in the freezer from Christmas. Pulsed them in the FP with some melted butter. Baked in regular oven @ 375 12 mins. I wanted a crispy crust. Continued with the recipe, as written. Added a little vanilla bean paste along with the vanilla. I wanted those little specks of vanilla bean. Made a sling out of foil to ease lifting the cheesecake out of AF. My 6” springform pan fit perfectly in the AF. Baked @ 300 for 30. Will make again!!

I have a smaller air fryer and springform, so halving the recipe worked well for two 5" pans (only have the one pan so air fried separately if that matters). Cooking for 14 min worked perfectly.

An "air fryer" IS a convection oven. So, yes! :-)

Made this exactly as the recipe called for but left off the cherry pie filling on top and it was yummy! Thank you to the recipes creators for this fast and easy way to make cheesecake. Condensed milk might sound unusual but it does the trick. Try it — you just might like it, condensed milk haters!

Replaced 6 oz of cream cheese with sour cream to add some tangy twang as mentioned by others and left out 3 oz of condensed milk to account for additional moisture of the sour cream. Turned out perfect and will make again. This recipe is a keeper!

Hi there! It should work fine. I tested this recipe using a Ninja Foodi. Just make sure to keep an eye on the wiggling and the time. It varies in each air fryer, but we've tried to add a good range. Thanks so much for your interest, let me know what you think.Christina Morales

Hi Linda, The air fryer setting in your oven should work. The developers of this recipe, Jessica and Rebecca, both have ovens with air fryer features in them and have used the basic settings for their recipes, like this cheesecake. Keep an eye on the wiggling and the way the top looks to measure if it's done. We included a generous time range since air fryers are all different. Thanks for your interest, and let me know what you think. Christina Morales

This is by far the easiest and most delicious cheesecake I've ever made! My friends loved the fluffy texture and the fact it was not too sweet. The one hint I have for the crust is to sift the graham crackers so that you have a consistent texture and it's easy to work with.

I also used Oreos for the crust.

I made a chocolate version. I melted 4 oz. 70% cacao chocolate and 2 T cocoa powder in the condensed milk with 2 extra T milk to help keep it liquid. I have an Instant Pot with an air fryer lid and it took 35 minutes. Perfect!

This was absolutely fool proof and delightfully delicious. I can’t wait to try different versions of this cheesecake base.

Utterly delicious. Made this last night for a dinner party and the guests raved! Super simple to make, and far less faffy than my fridge-set cheesecake recipe which requires gelatin and multiple bowls. One mixer bowl on this one and its done. We drizzled a store-ready passionfruit, mango and yuzu coulis over the top and it was excellent. This will become a go-to cheesecake recipe with multiple options for topping depending on the season.

Wow is this ever good! First time ever to make a cheesecake. I used my Cuisinart basket air fryer to bake it in.

Instead of cherry topping, try a drizzle of good EVOO, a pinch of sea salt & a lemon slice.

I made this at high altitude (7,000) feet and added 10 more minutes to the cooking time. The top was nicely browned and the center was quite jiggly. Just took it out of the air fryer so I need t wait til it’s refrigerated to judge the final result. I made both the crumb crust and then the batter in the food processor which cut the prep time by half and the number of bowls/utensils required in half as well. Batter was silky smooth and lump freeI,also added some candied ginger to the batter.

This will be my go-to cheesecake recipe. Will experiment with adding a tablespoon or two of sour cream.

This recipe is great. Made this a few times, comes out nicely. A bit o’air fryer fun…

Meh. No sure what I did wrong, but this was vertically challenged. Maybe I over mixed it, but it was very difficult to smooth out the mix. I wonder if I should have nuked the cream cheese to soften it even more than it was. Also, I wonder if the temp on air fryer was too high. I did reduce it to 280 and had to cover the CC to prevent further darkening. All-in-all, I wouldn’t make this again…

Do you pre-heat the air fryer or just put it in cold?

Doesn’t take me more than 10 minutes more to bake in oven…..just sayin’.

used coconut condensed milk and Kite Hill Cream Cheese as I'm allergic to cow's milk.

This was great—easy and guests loved it.

I'm not a big fan of cheesecake but decided to make this one for my wife's Valentine. I followed the recipe ingredients exactly but did a lot of extra beating to fully emulsify the batter. After baking 25 minutes @ 300 the top crust was browned but the "jiggle"wasn't slight so I reduced the temp to 275 and kept checking and jiggling until the crust was very well browned and the jiggle had lessened. Following directions, and with a thickened blueberry compote (wife's), it was delightful! 5*

I’m confused by the cracker crumb ingredient listing: 1 1/4 cups crackers, finely crushed, implies measuring the crackers before crushing them. Can that be right?

Hmm - how about swapping that condensed milk for canned coconut milk instead? Anyone tried it?

Wow. I was not expecting this to be good… it seemed too easy to be true. But after about 5-7 minutes of hands on work, this created a fantastic cheesecake. I did use some leftover macadamia shortbread cookies with chocolate chips as the base as it’s what I had on hand… omg. Amazing. Cannot wait to experiment with flavor variations! I used a 7 inch springform pan and 35 minutes was exactly perfect.

Super easy and delicious. I made this yesterday jumping between the recipe and the Youtube video. I have the same air fryer so it was a snap and tasted great! You need to use an 8" springform pan for the Cosori Air Fryer used in video and it fits perfectly. I made the crust with Biscoff cookies. It will be my go to for easy dessert the cooking time for me was about 35 minutes, an hour cooling then in the fridge.
