Ingredients
- Cream Cheese (400g) – Provides a creamy base and texture.
- Sugar (100g) – Adds sweetness and balances the tang of the cream cheese.
- Eggs (2 large) – Helps set the cheesecake and adds richness.
- Vanilla Extract (1 tsp) – Enhances flavor.
- Sour Cream (120g) – Adds tanginess for a balanced taste.
- Biscuit Crumbs (150g) – Forms the base; digestive biscuits or graham crackers work well.
- Butter (75g, melted) – Binds the crust and adds flavor.
Instructions
- Prepare the Crust: In a mixing bowl, combine the biscuit crumbs and melted butter until the crumbs are evenly coated. Press this mixture into the bottom of a greased springform pan.
- Mix the Filling: In another bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add in eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract and sour cream, mixing until just combined.
- Pour the Filling: Pour the cream cheese mixture over the crust in the springform pan.
- Air Fry the Cheesecake: Place the pan into the air fryer basket. Set the air fryer to 160°C (320°F) and cook for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheesecake is just set in the center.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the cheesecake to cool in the pan before refrigerating it for at least 3 hours. Serve chilled.
