Welcome in the fall season with these decadent air fryer pumpkin cheesecake bars, a delicious combination of a golden graham crust and decadent pumpkin-spiced cream cheese filling!

EQUIPMENT

  • Air Fryer
  • Aluminum Foil
  • Mixing Bowls
  • Hand or Stand Mixer
  • Pan

INGREDIENTS
  

Crust

  • 1 cup graham crumbs
  • 3 tbsp salted butter, melted
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar

Filling

  • 16 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 2 eggs
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1 1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice

INSTRUCTIONS

  • Spray an 8-inch by 8-inch piece of foil, or a glass or metal pan (or a pan that fits inside your air fryer basket) and set it aside.
  • In a medium-sized bowl, combine graham crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar. Then, press it firmly into the bottom of the prepared pan. Place this pan into the air fryer but don’t bake it yet. 
  • In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Then beat in the eggs, one at a time. Next, add the sugar, pumpkin puree, and pumpkin pie spice. Mix until creamy.
  • Scrape the cream cheese mixture into the prepared crust. Smooth the top and cover with foil.
  • Bake the cheesecake at 350°F for 45 minutes or until almost set. 
  • Allow to cool at room temperature for at least 30 minutes. Then wrap it well, and place it in the fridge to chill for at least 6 hours. 
  • Cut into 9 equal squares, top with cinnamon whipped cream and pecan halves, and serve.

NOTES

  • After pressing the crust into the pan, I recommend placing the pan inside your air fryer. It can be tricky to move the pan into the air fryer once the pumpkin cheesecake filling has been poured in.  
  • If you’ve made my Air Fryer Cheesecake, you’ll notice this cooks much longer. This is normal as it contains pumpkin puree, making the filling denser and requiring more time.
  • You MUST use foil when making these pumpkin cheesecake squares to prevent them from burning, especially if your air fryer cooks from both the top and bottom.
