Notes

  • If your air fryer doesn't have a preheating option, you can set the temperature to 400°F (204°C) and then let it cook for 4-5 minutes without food.
  • You can also skip preheating by adding 2-4 minutes to your cooking time until you achieve your desired finish.
  • Use thin-cut bacon strips as they are easier to wrap and will cook faster.
  • 3 Ways to Soften Cream Cheese: 1. Leave it at room temperature for 30 minutes. 2. Transfer it to a microwave-safe bowl and heat it at 30% power for 15 seconds, stirring and repeating the process until you achieve the desired texture. 3. Submerge the sealed block of cream cheese in warm water for 10-15 minutes.
  • I used a 6-quart Instant Pot Vortex Plus to test the air fryer bacon wrapped dates recipe. Cooking time and temperature may vary depending on your air fryer and the number of servings you are making. For optimal results, begin with the lower end of the suggested cooking time.
