Tips for making Air Fryer Mini Cheesecake Bites
Here are some tips for making Air Fryer Mini Cheesecake Bites:
- Use room temperature ingredients: Make sure your cream cheese, eggs, and sour cream are all at room temperature before mixing your ingredients. This will ensure a smooth and creamy cheesecake filling.
- Prepare the crust ahead of time: You can prepare the crust for your mini cheesecake bites and keep them in the refrigerator until you’re ready to bake. This will save time when it comes to assembling your cheesecakes.
- Use a muffin tin liner: Line your muffin tin with muffin liners to make removing your mini cheesecake bites easier. This will also help prevent the cheesecake from sticking to the tin.
- Don’t overfill the muffin cups: Only fill your muffin cups about 2/3 of the way full to prevent overflow while baking. This will also ensure that your cheesecakes bake evenly.
- Let the cheesecake bites cool before removing them from the muffin tin: Allow your mini cheesecake bites to cool completely before removing them from the muffin tin. This will help them hold their shape and prevent them from falling apart.
