Notes
Always use room temperature cream cheese and eggs to ensure a smooth, lump-free batter.
Do not overmix the batter to avoid introducing excess air, which causes cracking.
Preheating the air fryer is essential for consistent baking temperatures.
Do not open the air fryer basket frequently during the cooking process to prevent temperature drops.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 1 month.
