    Creamy Keto New York-style cheesecake, made easily in an air-fryer. This dessert is gluten-free and is the ultimate indulgence for the cheesecake lover. It is a super quick and easy dessert that is perfect for any occasion.

    This keto air fryer cheesecake recipe uses a few basic ingredients and is so easy to make. A great keto air fryer dessert for summer as you don't need to use your oven and heat the kitchen. Mini cheesecakes are also great for portion control.

    We made small individual cheesecakes and larger ones in a 3 inch spring form tin and they only took 10 minutes to cook. This may be fastest baked sugar free cheesecake you can make! Chilling is still required though. Although I will confess that I ate one whilst it was still warm.

    WHAT DOES AN AIR FRYER CHEESECAKE TASTE LIKE?

    The flavor and texture of a cheesecake made in an air fryer is very much the same as a baked New York cheesecake. The topping may be slightly more golden, rather similar to a Basque cheesecake.

    CHEESECAKE INGREDIENTS

    For this recipe we have used a basic sugar free vanilla cheesecake that you can adapt to your own taste. We enjoyed a chocolate version too which you can see from the photos.

    Similar to our sugar free New York Cheesecake recipe, we used cream cheese and sour cream.

    air fryer cheesecake ingredients

    For the low carb cheesecake crust, almond flour was used but you could used other low carb nuts such as pecan, walnuts or hazelnuts. Even low carb cookies could be used.

    The sour cream can be replaced with heavy cream. Or omitted for a simple cheesecake recipe.

    When using cream cheese for a cheesecake it needs to be softened, ideally at room temperature. This makes the beating of it easier and ensures no lumps.

    THE SWEETENER

    A powdered low carb sweetener works well with a cheesecake as it dissolves well. We prefer to use allulose but powered monk fruit or erythritol can be used. If you only have granular, run a few tablespoons at a time in a coffee grinder to make powdered sweetener.

    HOW TO MAKE AIR FRYER CHEESECAKE

    You will be making this air fryer keto cheesecake weekly once you find out how easy it is to make.

    We used silicon muffins cases for mini cheesecakes and also a 3 inch spring form tin for smaller, portioned control sized cheesecakes. Plus, our air fryer is not large enough for a 7 or 8 inch springform pan. Otherwise I'd be baking a large cheesecake!

    STORAGE

    Cheesecakes should be stored in the refrigerator. Keep them in an air tight container and they will last up to 4 days. Although any cheesecake in our fridge doesn't stand a fighting chance with the Chief Taster!

    VARIATIONS

    This recipe can work as a base for you to make other delicious cheesecakes. A few suggestions are:

    • Skip the crust for a low carb crustless cheesecake.
    • Add lemon juice and rind for a lemon version.
    • Our chocolate cheesecake has the addition of sugar free cocoa powder in the crust and the cheesecake mixture. We add additional sweetener as the cocoa can be slightly bitter without.
    • Try pecans in a sugar free salted sauce for the topping.
    • Serve with whipping cream, fresh berries, a strawberry or blueberry coulis on top.

    FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

    Can I put springform pan in air fryer?

    Yes you can. You can put any oven proof dish as well as silicone molds. A crustless mini cheesecake could be made in ramekins.

    How long to air fryer an 8 inch spring form tin cheesecake?

    The larger the pan you are making a cheesecake, the longer the cooking time. Increase the time to 20-30 minutes, checking that the cheesecake is not burning. If the cheesecake is slightly jiggly in the centre, it should firm up once chilled in the fridge overnight.
