Ingredients
Cheesecake Soufflé Batter
- 250g cream cheese, softened
- 3 eggs, separated
- 1/3 cup sugar (split into two portions)
- 1/2 cup milk
- 2 tbsp butter
- 1/4 cup flour
- 2 tbsp cornstarch
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp lemon juice (optional for flavor)
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
Prepare the Batter
- Preheat your oven to 160°C (320°F).
- In a bowl, melt cream cheese, milk, and butter together over low heat until smooth.
- Add egg yolks, vanilla, and lemon juice. Mix until combined.
- Sift in flour and cornstarch, whisking until smooth and lump-free.
Whip the Egg Whites
- In a clean bowl, beat egg whites with a pinch of salt.
- Gradually add the remaining sugar and whip to stiff peaks.
Fold & Fill
- Gently fold the meringue into the cheesecake mixture (do not overmix).
- Pour into lined muffin cups or greased ramekins.
- Tap gently to remove air bubbles.
Bake
- Place the ramekins in a deep tray and fill with hot water (water-bath method).
- Bake for 25–30 minutes until lightly golden and puffed.
Serve
Let cool slightly — they will deflate a little (it’s normal!). Dust with powdered sugar and enjoy warm.
