Cream cheese stays the constant across every recipe here, even as the shape and flavor shift from a folded chimichanga to a straightforward baked slice. Several versions wrap the filling in something crispy instead of baking it the traditional way.
The Air Fryer Strawberry Cheesecake Chimichangas and Air Fryer Blueberry Cheesecake Wontons both wrap the filling in a crisp shell, while the Air Fryer Pumpkin Cheesecake sticks with a more traditional baked structure. The rest of the list rounds out with chocolate, caramel, and cookie flavored versions.

Top Tips
- Bring the cream cheese to room temperature first. Cold cream cheese blends unevenly and leaves lumps in the filling, so setting it out ahead of time makes for a smoother texture.
- Line the air fryer basket with parchment. A piece of parchment cut to fit keeps delicate fillings from sticking to the basket and makes cleanup much easier.
- Avoid overcrowding the basket. Wontons and chimichangas need room for air to circulate on all sides, or they will cook unevenly and turn out soggy in spots.
- Let cheesecake cool before slicing or serving. Cutting in too soon can make the filling run, while a short cooling period helps it set up properly.
- Check for doneness a few minutes early. Air fryers vary by model, and it is easier to add another minute or two than to recover from an overcooked crust or filling.
