Cupcake:
INSTRUCTIONS:
- 1/2 cup butter, melted
- 8 oz cream cheese, room temperature
- 2/3 cup evaporated milk (fresh milk is fine)
- 1/2 cup all purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 6 eggs, whites and yolks separated
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- 1/4 tsp cream of tartar
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 can condensed milk (14oz)
- 4 egg yolks
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp butter
- 1/3 cup water
- 1/2 tbsp cornstarch
- 1 cup grated cheese
INSTRUCTIONS:
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese. Add the melted butter and milk and mix thoroughly until smooth.
- Add the flour, cornstarch and salt. Continue mixing until all ingredients are incorporated. Add in the egg yolks then the lemon juice. Set aside.
- In a separate bowl, mix the egg whites and cream of tartar. Beat until soft peaks form. Add the vanilla and gradually sugar until stiff peaks starts to form.
- Fold in the egg whites to the cream cheese mixture until well combined.
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. In order to prevent the cupcakes from drying, we need to “steam bake”. Prepare a large pan with hot water. You need to place your cupcake pan inside the container and bake it. If you don’t have a large pan, you can just use the biggest one you have and place it on the very top layer of the oven.
- Spoon batter into paper-lined cupcake pan, filling each cup 3/4 full.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes or until toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean.
- Now, to make the yema frosting, pour the condensed milk in a medium pot.
- Mix together water and cornstarch then pour into the pot with condensed milk.
- Add the egg yolks and cook in low-medium heat. Once it starts to boil, add the vanilla. Keep stirring and cook until texture becomes thick and spreadable, about 35-40 minutes. Turn off heat and add the butter. Let cool.
- Spread the yema frosting over the cupcakes and sprinkle with some shredded cheese. You can use either cheddar or american cheese…they are both good.
- Serve and enjoy your yema cupcakes! Great for snack or dessert…
