Directions

1. Step

In a mixing bowl, soften the cream cheese. Add sugar and mix well. Then, add cocoa powder and stir until fully incorporated.

2. Step

Lightly beat the egg in a separate bowl. Gradually add it to the cream cheese mixture, stirring continuously to combine.

3. Step

Break the chocolate into pieces and place it in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in two 1-minute intervals, stirring in between to ensure it melts evenly. Once fully melted, add it to the mixture and stir well. Then, pour in the fresh cream, add a pinch of salt, and mix until smooth.

4. Step

Line a 12 cm cake mold with parchment paper. Pour the batter through a fine sieve into the mold to ensure a smooth texture.

5. Step

Preheat the air fryer. Cook at 180°C (356°F) for 25 minutes, then increase to 200°C (392°F) for 3 more minutes. Check for doneness—if the center jiggles slightly, it's ready.

6. Step

Cover the cake with parchment paper, let it cool, and refrigerate for at least 6 hours before serving.
