This air fryer pumpkin cheesecake is rich, creamy, and filled with warm fall spices. The air fryer makes it surprisingly easy to bake a cheesecake that looks bakery-worthy, without the fuss of a water bath or oven time. Perfect for holidays, dinner parties, or whenever you want a pumpkin dessert that feels extra special.
In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, ¼ cup of sugar, and melted butter until combined. Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom and slightly up the sides of a greased 7-inch springform pan.
In a large bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth. Add pumpkin puree, eggs, ½ cup sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and flour. Mix until creamy and well combined.
Pour the filling over the prepared crust and smooth the top with a spatula.
Place the pan into the air fryer basket. Air fry at 300℉ for 25-30 minutes, or until the center is mostly set with a slight jiggle.
Remove carefully and let the cheesecake cool to room temperature. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before slicing. Serve topped with whipped cream.
Notes
If the top of the cheesecake browns too quickly, tent loosely with foil during the last 10 minutes of cooking.
For best results, chill overnight for the creamiest texture and neat slices.
Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
Cheesecake can also be frozen for up to 2 months. Thaw in the fridge before serving.
