Equipment

  • 1 x 4 Inch Cake Tin

Ingredients

  • 120 grams light cream cheese
  • 80 grams greek yoghurt
  • 25 grams sweetener
  • 1 egg
  • 3 grams corn starch
  • 10 grams cocoa powder (use 6g for batter and save 4g to sprinkle on top)

Instructions

  • Whisk all the ingredients together in a bowl until the batter is smooth with no lumps remaining.
  • Line a 4-inch cake tin with baking paper and the batter into the prepared tin.
  • Gently tap the tin on the bench a few times to remove any air bubbles.
  • Air fry at 180°C for around 16 minutes, or until the top is deeply golden with a slightly burnt finish, while the centre still has a slight jiggle.
  • Let the cheesecake cool at room temperature for about 1 hour, then transfer to the fridge to chill for at least another hour (longer for a firmer, creamier texture).
  • Finish by lightly dusting the top with the remaining cocoa powder and adding chocolate squares for decoration (optional).
