How to Make Delicious, Simple Cream Cheese Melting Muffins

How to make Cream Cheese Muffins

• 1

  Whip the butter and sugar mixture

  Put 40gr of cream cheese, 60gr of unsalted butter, and 80gr of sugar into a bowl.

  Use a whisk to beat in one direction until the mixture is uniform and the sugar is completely dissolved. Beat until the mixture is fluffy and turns white.

  Tip:

  • Cut the unsalted butter into small pieces to whip it with the sugar faster and more evenly.
  • Butter and cream cheese should be softened at room temperature but not to the point of being too soft or melting.
  • Make sure to whip the butter well as the cake rises and has a fluffy texture thanks to the air bubbles in the whipped butter.

  Mix the egg mixture

  Add 2 eggs one by one into the bowl of the butter and cream cheese mixture above, continuously stir in one direction for the mixture to blend well.

  Tip:

  • Let the eggs sit at room temperature before baking.
  • Add one egg first, beat until the mixture is smooth before adding the next egg; this will make the batter more uniform.

  Mix the cake batter

  Sift 100g of cake flour and 1.5g of baking powder into the bowl with the egg mixture above. Gently mix the ingredients together.

  When mixing the ingredients, you should fold gently (mix by turning and lifting from the bottom of the bowl to the top in one direction) and avoid mixing too vigorously to prevent breaking too many air bubbles, which would prevent the cake from rising well. Just mix until the flour is evenly incorporated into the egg mixture.

  Pouring the mold

  Put the batter made earlier into a piping bag, cutting the tip of the bag slightly larger to make it easier to pipe the batter.

  Spread a little butter on the cake mold to prevent sticking (you can also line it with parchment paper). Slowly pipe the batter into the mold, filling it almost to the top as shown (remember to leave space for piping in the cream later!)
