Ingredients
Scale
- 12–15 Oreo Cookies (standard size)
- 8 oz Cream Cheese, softened to room temperature
- 1/4 cup Granulated Sugar
- 1 Large Egg
- 1/2 tsp Vanilla Extract
- Optional: Whipped cream and extra Oreo crumbs for garnish
Instructions
- Ensure your cream cheese is completely at room temperature. This is the most important step to avoid a lumpy batter. Leave it on the counter for at least 30-60 minutes before starting.
- In a medium mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and sugar together until smooth and creamy. Add the egg and vanilla extract, then mix on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overbeat the batter once the egg is added, as this can cause the cheesecake to puff up and then sink.
- Place silicone cupcake liners or paper liners into your air fryer basket. Place one whole Oreo cookie at the bottom of each liner. This cookie will act as the delicious chocolate crust for your cheesecake bite.
- Spoon about 1 to 1.5 tablespoons of the cheesecake mixture over each Oreo cookie. Smooth the tops with the back of the spoon. Do not fill the liners all the way to the top, as the cheesecake may rise slightly during cooking.
- Set your air fryer to 300°F (150°C). Place the basket into the air fryer and cook for 8 to 10 minutes. The centers should still have a slight jiggle when you shake the basket gently; they will firm up as they cool.
- Carefully remove the liners from the air fryer and let them cool at room temperature for about 20 minutes. For the best texture, transfer them to the refrigerator and chill for at least 2 hours before serving.
