Ingredients
Scale
- 8 oz (225g) softened cream cheese
- 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons (30g) sour cream
- 1/2 cup (50g) graham cracker crumbs
- 2 tablespoons (30g) melted unsalted butter
- 3–4 tablespoons seedless raspberry jam
- Optional: Fresh raspberries or whipped cream for topping
Instructions
- Line a mini muffin tin (24-cup size) with silicone liners or lightly grease with non-stick spray.
- In a small bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs with melted butter until it resembles wet sand.
- Press about 1 teaspoon of the crumb mixture into the bottom of each muffin cup to form the crust.
- In a separate bowl, whisk softened cream cheese, sugar, sour cream, and vanilla extract vigorously until smooth and lump-free.
- Spoon the cheesecake filling into each crust-lined cup, filling them about 3/4 full.
- Dollop about 1/2 teaspoon of raspberry jam on top of each bite.
- Use a toothpick to drag through the jam and cream cheese in a circular or zigzag motion to create a swirl pattern.
- Place the muffin tin in the air fryer basket and cook at 320°F (160°C) for 8-10 minutes, until edges are set and centers have a slight jiggle.
- Let the bites cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow them to set.
Notes
Ensure cream cheese is at room temperature to avoid lumps. Do not overmix the jam into the filling; simply dollop and swirl for the best visual effect. These are best served cold and chilled for at least 30 minutes to set properly. They can be stored in the fridge for up to 5 days or frozen for up to 2 months.
