Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup Full-Fat Plain Greek Yogurt approx. 240g, essential for texture
  • 1 Large Egg

Equipment

  • Air Fryer
  • Small Mixing Bowl
  • Whisk
  • Two 4-inch Ramekins
  • Cooking Spray (optional)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your air fryer to 325°F (160°C). Lightly grease two 4-inch ramekins or one 6-inch oven-safe dish with cooking spray or a dab of butter.
Mix Ingredients
  1. In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the full-fat plain Greek yogurt and the large egg until the mixture is completely smooth and well combined. Ensure there are no streaks of egg white or yolk visible.
Bake the Cheesecake
  1. Pour the yogurt mixture evenly into the prepared ramekins or dish.
  2. Carefully place the ramekins into the air fryer basket.
  3. Air fry for 15-18 minutes, or until the cheesecakes are set around the edges but still have a slight jiggle in the center. The tops should appear lightly golden.
Cool and Chill
  1. Remove the cheesecakes from the air fryer and let them cool at room temperature for about 15-20 minutes.
  2. Transfer the cooled cheesecakes to the refrigerator and chill for at least 2 hours, or until thoroughly cold and firm. This step is crucial for optimal cheesecake texture.
  3. Serve chilled, optionally topped with fresh berries, a drizzle of honey, or a dusting of powdered sugar.

Notes

For a sweeter cheesecake, stir 1-2 tablespoons of honey, maple syrup, or your preferred sugar substitute into the yogurt mixture before baking. You can also add 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract for extra flavor. If you don't have an air fryer, you can bake this in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 25-30 minutes, or until set. Store leftover cheesecake covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
