Sitting on a cinnamon and cardamom flavored almond base, this easy, gluten free, mini, Air Fryer Cinnamon Cardamom Cheesecake is deliciously creamy ~ serve it up with fresh berries and whip cream for a treat your family and friends will love.

There have been many times in recent years when I have challenged the limits of my lactose intolerant insides by indulging in a slice of creamy and decadent cheesecake.

After that chocolate orange cake failure, I decided to whip up an easy vanilla cheesecake. I went with a very basic recipe of cream cheese, sugar, egg, and vanilla on an almond crust. At first, I set the temperature of my air fryer way too high and the cheesecake was a tad bit burnt. Then, I didn’t set it high enough and the cheesecake turned out more like pudding. And then, I hit the sweet spot.

I find plain cheesecakes a little too bland, so I decided to whip up a cinnamon and cardamom one to share on here. This cheesecake was so creamy on the inside – so flavor packed and so gone in 30 minutes after it was served. This is a mini cheesecake (and technically, it holds f.o.u.r. servings – all the same, my daughter and I annihilated it after these pictures were taken.

Tips to making Air Fryer Cheesecake

• Make sure to use a spring form pan – it makes taking the cheesecake out so much easier.
• Line the bottom of your spring form pan with parchment paper – again, this helps dislodging the cheesecake from the pan and keeps the cheesecake from over baking on the bottom.
• Before placing your cheesecake in the air fryer, make sure that there’s room for it to expand – in other words, do not fill the spring form pan upto the top with the cheesecake filling.
• While I used cinnamon and cardamom to flavor my cheesecake, please feel free to experiment with your favorite spice-mix like pumpkin spice or nutmeg or anise.
• After you take your cheesecake out of the air fryer, cool it in the fridge for at least 3 hours before trying to remove it from the spring form pan.

I so do hope you give this easy, flavor-packed, Air Fryer Cinnamon Cardamom Cheesecake a try soon and then please do let me know what you think of it.
