INGREDIENTS

Table of Contents

     . 8 oz Cream cheese 226 g, softened
  • 1 Egg large
  •  cup All-purpose Flour can sub for low-carb flour of choice
  • 1 Taespoon Vanilla extract
  • 2 TBS Granulated sugar Can substitute for preferred granulated sweetener of your choice. I use Golden Monkfruit.
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • Spray oil

Optional, but recommended toppings

  • Sour cream
  • Powdered sugar
  • Fruit
  • 2 TBS Semolina Optional,                           

    INSTRUCTIONS

    • 1. Preheat the air fryer to 350F/175C for 3 minutes.

      In a mixing bowl add all ingredients: Cream cheese, egg, flour, sugar, semolina, vanilla extract, and baking powder.

      2. Using a spoon or fork, mix all ingredients together until well combined.

      Divide the mixture into 6 even parts.                                                    Using your hands pick up one part and roll it into a ball. If the dough is too sticky (and this mixture will be sticky), roll the ball lightly in the flour. Or scoop the mixture using a spoon.                                                 3. Place onto air fryer basket or tray, lined with parchment paper.      4.   Gently shape the ball and press it into a pancake shape and make it approx. ¾ inch thick. If the pancake is too sticky, gently pat it with a bit of flour.                                       Lightly spray cheesecakes with oil.   5. Air fry (air crisp mode) at 350F/180C for 5 minutes.          Open air fryer, flip each cheesecake on the other side, lightly spray with oil, and fry for an additional 3-4 minutes or until golden brown with a crispy caramelized crust.              6.  Transfer to a plate, let cool a bit, and serve with your favorite topping, like powdered sugar, and top with some fruits. Delicious with a dollop of sour cream on top. Enjoy!
