Ingredients

Scale

Filling Ingredients

  • 8 oz (225 g) cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup (50 g) granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Coating Ingredients

  • 1 cup (100 g) graham cracker crumbs
  • 3 tbsp (42 g) unsalted butter, melted
  • Optional: 1 tsp cinnamon, sugar, or finely chopped nuts (almonds, pecans, pistachios)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cheesecake Filling: Beat the cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Gradually mix in sugar, egg, and vanilla extract, ensuring the mixture is lump-free, creating a soft and luscious base.
  2. Form the Bites: Roll the cheesecake mixture into uniform, bite-sized balls using your hands or a cookie scoop for even cooking.
  3. Prepare the Coating: In a bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs and melted butter until the texture resembles wet sand. Optionally add cinnamon or sugar for extra flavor.
  4. Coat Each Bite: Roll each cheesecake ball gently in the graham cracker mixture until fully coated to form a crisp crust.
  5. Air Fry to Perfection: Place coated bites in a single layer in the air fryer basket without touching. Air fry at 320°F (160°C) for 8–10 minutes until golden and crispy outside but creamy inside.
  6. Cool and Serve: Allow bites to cool for a few minutes before serving to let them set perfectly.

Notes

  • Chill the cheesecake batter for at least 30 minutes before rolling to make shaping easier and help maintain the bites’ form.
  • Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket to ensure even crisping.
  • Use parchment paper or a silicone mat in the air fryer basket to prevent sticking and ease cleanup.
  • Adjust cooking time if making larger bites, increasing by 2–3 minutes if necessary.
  • Let the bites cool before eating to achieve the perfect creamy texture inside.
