Ingredients 

  • 7oz (200g) cream cheese 
  • 2 tbsp. (30g) butter, melted 
  • 2 egg yolks 
  • 2 egg whites 
  • 1 tbsp. (15g) sugar 
  • 1 tbsp. (8g) cornstarch 
  • 1/2 cup (100ml) skim milk 
  • 2.5 tbsp. sugar 

Instructions

  1. Line 9 muffin tins with muffin paper liners. Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Microwave the cream cheese in small intervals, just until soft. 
  2. Mix the cream cheese and melted butter. 
  3. In a different bowl, combine egg yolks and 1 tbsp. sugar. Mix in cornstarch. 
  4. Heat the milk to a boil. Add 3   of milk to the yolks while mixing constantly. 
  5. Add the remaining milk slowly and mix constantly. 
  6. Place the egg yolk mixture on a double boiler. Mix constantly until it thickens. 
  7. Add the egg yolk mixture to the cream cheese. 
  8. Beat the egg whites until you reach firm peaks. While beating the whites mix in the sugar in small additions. 
  9. Fold 1/4 of the egg whites into the cream cheese mixture. 
  10. Fold in the rest of the whites. 
  11. Fill the paper liners with the batter. 
  12. Place the muffin tins in a baking tray. Fill the tray with 1 cm of water. 
  13. Bake in the oven for 15 minutes. Lower the temperature to 320°F (160°C) and bake another 25 minutes. Then turn off the oven and let the cheesecake in there for another 40 minutes to an hour. 
  14. Remove from tins and let cool completely in a wire rack. 
  15. Refrigerate. As with regular cheesecake, it tastes better on the second day.
