Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 16 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup heavy cream, chilled
- 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and halved
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 cup heavy cream, chilled (for whipped cream)
- 2 tbsp granulated sugar (for whipped cream)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract (for whipped cream)
Instructions
- Prepare the Crust: In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, ¼ cup sugar, and melted butter. Mix until well combined. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a greased 7-inch springform pan. Set aside.
- Make the Cheesecake Filling: In a large bowl, beat softened cream cheese, 1 cup sugar, and 1 tsp vanilla extract until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Slowly pour in the chilled heavy cream, blending until fully incorporated.
- Air Fryer Preheat: Preheat your air fryer to 320°F (160°C).
- Pour the Filling: Pour the cheesecake filling over the prepared crust in the springform pan. Tap the pan gently on the counter to release any air bubbles.
- Cook the Cheesecake: Place the pan in the air fryer basket and cook for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is slightly jiggly.
- Cool the Cheesecake: Let the cheesecake cool in the air fryer for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. Once cooled, refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to set.
- Prepare Strawberry Topping: In a saucepan, combine strawberries, ½ cup sugar, and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the strawberries are softened and the mixture thickens. Allow the sauce to cool before spooning it over the chilled cheesecake.
- Make Whipped Cream: In a chilled bowl, whip 1 cup heavy cream with 2 tbsp sugar and 1 tsp vanilla extract until soft peaks form.
- Serve: Slice the chilled cheesecake and serve with a generous spoonful of strawberry sauce and a dollop of whipped cream. Garnish with fresh strawberry slices and mint leaves, if desired.
