Ingredients
2ouncesCream cheesesoftened
1tablespoonSour cream
½tablespoonButtersoftened
1Egg yolk
1Egg white
1 ½tablespoonsAll-purpose flour
1tablespoonMilk
1tablespoonSugar
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F.
Blend together the cream cheese, sour cream, flour and butter in a mixing bowl until smooth and creamy.
Add the egg yolk and milk to the mixing bowl, and beat until smooth and well combined.
In another mixing bowl, beat the egg white and sugar until stiff peaks form.
Fold a large spoonful of the egg white mixture into the batter, then pour the batter into the egg whites, and carefully fold in until well combined.
Spread the mixture into a well greased large ramekin.
Place the ramekin into a baking dish, and fill the baking dish with water so that it goes about ½ an inch up the side of the ramekin.
Bake for 10 minutes.
Reduce the heat to 300 degrees and bake for another 10 minutes, or until cooked through. The cheesecake will still be a bit jiggly in the center.
Allow to cool for at least 1 hour before serving.
Notes
Have your cream cheese at room temperature before using as this will help it blend more easily with the other ingredients.Sift your flour before adding it to the mixture to prevent clumping.Consider adding a dash of cream of tartar to the egg white before beating to help provide support so it doesn't flatten easily.Fold in the meringue gently to avoid deflating the air bubbles. This will ensure that your mini souffle cheesecake comes out light and fluffy with a perfect rise.Be sure not to overfill the ramekin or cake pan, as this can cause the cake to collapse during baking.Allow the mini cheesecake to cool completely before removing it from the pan. This helps prevent any cracking or sticking.
