FAQ 2: Can I cook cheesecake in an air fryer?

Yes, you absolutely can. Air fryers handle cheesecake beautifully without a water bath. The air circulation ensures even cooking and full flavor.

FAQ 3: How do you cook mini pies in the air fryer?

Mini pies follow a similar process—press crust into cups, fill with custard or fruit, then air‑fry at around 325–350 °F for 10–20 minutes , depending on filling. Let cool before serving.

Instructions

1. Mix graham cracker crumbs, 1 1/2 tsp sugar, and melted butter in a small bowl. Press the mixture into 6 silicone or foil muffin cups.

2. Pre-bake the crust in the air fryer at 320°F (160°C) for 3–6 minutes until firm.

3. In a large bowl, beat cream cheese, yogurt, lemon zest, vanilla, and 1/3 cup sugar until smooth.

4. Add the egg and optional yolk. Beat until fully incorporated. Use room-temperature ingredients to avoid lumps.

5. Spoon the filling over the pre-baked crusts until nearly full. Tap the cups gently to remove air bubbles.

6. Preheat air fryer to 350°F (175°C). Air-fry for 8–10 minutes until edges are set and centers jiggle slightly.

7. Let them rest in the air fryer basket for 5 minutes. Remove to a wire rack and cool at room temperature for 15 minutes.

8. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour (or overnight) to fully set before serving.

9. Top with fresh fruit, cookie crumbs, or your favorite garnish.

Notes

You can substitute graham crackers with crushed Oreos, shortbread cookies, or gingersnaps for a different flavor.

To freeze: Wrap each cheesecake individually in plastic and store in an airtight container for up to 2 months.

For vegan variation, swap cream cheese for plant-based alternatives and use flax egg.
