Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 320°F (160°C) and line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, sugar, milk, and unsalted butter. Beat on medium speed for about 3-4 minutes until smooth.
  3. Gradually add in the egg yolks, mixing well after each addition and beat for an additional 2-3 minutes.
  4. In a separate bowl, whip the egg whites until soft peaks form, about 4-5 minutes.
  5. Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the cream cheese mixture in three additions.
  6. Sift in the all-purpose flour and salt, mixing gently until just combined.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each liner about two-thirds full.
  8. Bake for 20-25 minutes until the tops are lightly golden and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  9. Remove from the oven and cool in the tin for about 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
