Ingredients
  

For the crust
  • 2 cups crushed graham crackers for a classic, sweet crust.
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar adds sweetness to the crust.
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted helps bind the crust together.
For the filling
  • 16 ounces cream cheese, softened the star of the show!
  • 1 cup granulated sugar ensures a sweet filling.
  • 3 large eggs for a fluffy texture.
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract enhances the cheesecake flavor.
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice (optional) adds a hint of brightness.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine crushed graham crackers, 1/4 cup sugar, and melted butter. Stir until evenly coated.
  2. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a springform pan, creating an even layer.
  3. In another bowl, beat the cream cheese and 1 cup of sugar until creamy and smooth. Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract and lemon juice until fully combined.
  4. Pour the cheesecake filling over the crust, spreading it evenly.
Cooking
  1. Place the springform pan in the air fryer basket. Cook at 320°F (160°C) for about 25-30 minutes or until the edges are set and the center is slightly jiggly.
  2. Remove from the air fryer and allow it to cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or preferably overnight.
Serving
  1. Release the cheesecake from the springform pan and slice into pieces. Enjoy chilled!
