Preparation
- Step 1
Brush melted butter on the bottom and sides of a 7- or 8-inch springform pan that fits in your air fryer. Line the bottom with parchment paper and brush with melted butter.
- Step 2
In a medium bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter with a spoon until the mixture is the texture of coarse meal. Transfer the graham cracker mixture to the prepared pan and press evenly with the spoon to form a level crust.
- Step 3
Using a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment or a hand mixer and a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese on medium speed until creamy and smooth, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the eggs, condensed milk and vanilla, and beat on medium speed, occasionally scraping the sides and bottom of the bowl, until completely smooth, 1 to 2 minutes.
- Step 4
Put the pan with the crust into the air fryer, then pour the cream cheese mixture over the crust. It should almost reach the rim of the pan. Close the air fryer lid and turn the air fryer setting to bake.
- Step 5
Bake the cheesecake at 300 degrees until the top is lightly browned and the center jiggles slightly, 25 to 35 minutes. It may take a little more or less time depending on the air fryer.
- Step 6
Carefully remove the springform pan from the air fryer, let it sit at room temperature for about 1 hour, and then cool it in the refrigerator for 6 to 8 hours. When ready to eat, remove the cheesecake from the pan. Slice with a warm knife, wiping it clean between cuts. If desired, top with cherry pie filling.

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…
Very tasty 🤤
This is both impressively easy and tasty, I can’t tell the difference from the classic version I usually make. I was short 4 oz of cream cheese and subbed chèvre and baked in my Instant Pot with air fryer lid. Will definitely make again!
Very nice cheesecake. Easy! No more spending a fortune on store-bought slices. Used the sour cream/ vanilla bean changes mentioned below. For those that want to try this but not wait/ invest in another springform pan, I used 2 stacked disposable foil 8" round pans (for stability) and cut the edge/ peeled off when cooled. The batter will fill to the brim, but it didn't drip over while baking. Crust came out plenty crisp without pre-baking, for me.
