Steps
Here’s where the magic begins:
Pour the melted chocolate into a large bowl, then add the cream cheese and mix until you get a smooth and homogeneous mixture. Set aside this mixture of pure indulgence and grab another bowl.
Here, beat the eggs with the sugar until you get a light and fluffy cream. Pour the egg and sugar mixture into the chocolate and cheese bowl, and carefully mix, making sure to blend all the ingredients well to get a thick and uniform cream.
At this point, line a baking pan with parchment paper, pour in the cream you just prepared, and gently level it. It’s time to cook this marvel: put it in the air fryer, set at 300°F, and let it cook for about 32 minutes (pay attention to your air fryer’s cooking times, so check the cake in the last minutes).
After cooking, it’s crucial to let the chocolate and cream cheese cake cool completely in the pan, on a rack or countertop, to avoid the moisture inside causing condensation. Once cooled, transfer it to the fridge for at least a couple of hours. This will help stabilize the texture and intensify the flavors.Enjoy!!!
