  • Total Time: 4 hours 40 minutes
  • Yield: 2 servings

Ingredients

Crust

  • 1/4 cup graham cracker crumbs
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted

Cheesecake Filling

  • 5 ounces (5 tablespoons) full-fat cream cheese, room temperature
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg yolk, room temperature
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

For Serving

  • Whipped cream
  • Fresh fruit

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Crust: In a small bowl, mix together the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter until combined. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of two 6-ounce ramekins to create the crust base.
  2. Make the Cream Cheese Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, beat the room temperature cream cheese and granulated sugar on medium-high speed for 1-2 minutes until smooth and creamy. Use a paddle attachment if using a stand mixer.
  3. Add Egg and Vanilla: Scrape down the sides of the bowl to incorporate all ingredients, then beat in the egg yolk and vanilla extract until just combined.
  4. Fill Ramekins and Wrap: Divide the cheesecake batter evenly between the prepared ramekins. Wrap each ramekin tightly with foil, ensuring it is secure to prevent movement, and poke small holes in the foil for ventilation.
  5. Air Fry the Cheesecakes: Place both wrapped ramekins in the air fryer basket. Set the air fryer temperature to 310°F and cook for 25 minutes, or until the tops are firm with a slight jiggle in the center and the internal temperature reaches 150°F. Carefully remove ramekins using tongs and remove the foil.
  6. Chill and Serve: Allow the cheesecakes to cool completely uncovered at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight. Serve chilled topped with whipped cream and fresh fruit.

Notes

  • Ensure cream cheese and egg yolk are at room temperature for smooth mixing and creamy texture.
  • Do not substitute with low-fat or whipped cream cheese, as it affects texture and flavor.
  • Use fully cooled cheesecakes for best slicing and serving results.
  • Wrapping the ramekins tightly with foil prevents foil from flying inside the air fryer and ensures even cooking.
  • Internal temperature of 150°F indicates the cheesecake is properly cooked but still creamy inside.
  • Customize toppings with berries, sliced mango, or a drizzle of fruit sauce as desired.
