Separate the biscuits and arrange flat on a clean surface. Use a circular cutting tool to make a hole in the center of each biscuit, creating a donut shape. Save the donut holes!
Place the donuts in the Bella Air Fryer and cook for 2-3 minutes. Remove the tray, flip donuts, and cook for another 2-3 minutes. Cook donut holes for 2 minutes. Let cool slightly before glazing.
In a bowl, mix the powdered sugar and cream. Add food coloring and stir to incorporate.
Dip donuts into the glaze, add sprinkles and enjoy!

for the crust
1 cup graham cracker crumbs
2 tbsp melted butter

9.5 oz cream cheese, softened
⅓ C heavy cream
¼ C milk
½ C white sugar
3 eggs
1 Tbsp vanilla extract

In a bowl combine all cheesecake ingredients. Make sure there are no lumps left from the cream cheese by using an immersion blender!
Pour over the graham cracker crust until it fills ¾ of the cake pan. Cover the cake pan with lightly greased foil, make sure the foil folds tightly over the sides of the pan so that it doesn’t move.
Place inside the So Yummy by Bella Air Fryer basket and cook for 40-50 minutes. The center should be wobbly, but the edges slightly firm. Let rest inside the air fryer for about 20 minutes before transferring to the refrigerator.
Cool for at least three hours, ideally overnight.
Decorate with strawberry slices and strawberry jam. You can heat the jam for 30 seconds in the microwave so it pours easily.
