Ingredients
Scale
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs, separated
- 1/2 cup whole milk
- 3 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, sifted
- Powdered sugar for dusting
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 320°F (160°C). Line a round cake pan with parchment paper and lightly grease the sides.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the softened cream cheese and melted butter until smooth. Gradually add the sugar until fully combined.
- Beat in the egg yolks one at a time.
- In a separate bowl, whip the egg whites until stiff peaks form, then gently fold them into the cream cheese mixture.
- Sift in the flour and mix with the milk until smooth, being careful not to overmix.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan, which should be placed inside a larger dish filled with hot water (this creates a water bath). Bake for about 60 minutes until set but slightly jiggly.
- Cool in the oven with the door ajar for one hour before removing from the pan. Dust with powdered sugar and serve chilled or at room temperature.
Notes
Serve plain or with fresh fruits like berries or a drizzle of chocolate sauce. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 2-3 days or freeze for longer storage.
