Step-by-Step Instructions

  2. Combine cream cheese, sugar, milk, and unsalted butter in a mixing bowl and beat until smooth.
  3. Add egg yolks one at a time, mixing thoroughly, then mix for additional 2-3 minutes until fluffy.
  4. In a clean bowl, whip egg whites until soft peaks form, about 3 to 5 minutes.
  5. Gently fold whipped egg whites into the cream cheese mixture in three additions.
  6. Sift all-purpose flour and salt into the batter, folding gently until just combined.
  7. Fill each cupcake liner about two-thirds full with the batter and smooth the tops.
