Air-fryer Vanilla and Chocolate Layered Cheesecake Recipe
Ingredients:
* Olive oil or butter, for greasing
* Two x 280 g tubs of cream cheese
* 150 g icing sugar, plus extra for dusting
* Three teaspoons vanilla bean paste
* Three large free-range eggs
* 35 g plain flour
* 100 g quality dark chocolate (70%)
* 1⁄2 a blood or regular orange
* One tablespoon runny honey
* 200 g fresh raspberries
Instructions:
1. Lightly grease an 18cm round loose-bottomed cake tin and line the base with parchment paper.
2. In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until slightly softened. Sift in the icing sugar, add the vanilla extract, and beat until the mixture is smooth.
3. Add the eggs one by one, whisking thoroughly after each addition.
4. Sift in the flour and mix again until combined.
5. Pour one-third of the batter into the prepared tin, gently shake to level the layer, and place it in the air fryer. Cook for 10 minutes at 200oC.
6. Once the time is up, break half the chocolate over the layer and pour half of the remaining batter on top, smoothing it to the edges with a spatula. Cook for another seven minutes at 200oC, then remove from the air fryer.
7. Break the rest of the chocolate over the second layer and top with the remaining batter, smoothing it out as before. Cook for a final seven minutes at 200oC.
8. To make the sauce, squeeze the orange juice into a bowl, add the honey, and mash with half of the raspberries. Add the remaining raspberries and toss gently just before serving.
9. After the final cooking time, let the cheesecake cool for 20 to 30 minutes before slicing and serving with the raspberry sauce.
