Is it Possible to Bake Cupcakes with Cream Cheese?

Yes, it’s a fantastic addition to your cupcakes. Like plain yogurt, Greek yogurt, or sour cream, cream cheese adds moisture to cupcakes.

What Type of Baking Pot do I Have To Use Here?

You can use silicon pots (like I used silicon muffin cups in this recipe), silicone muffin molds, or even tuna tin cans. Because an air fryer is essentially a little fan-forced oven, you can use whatever you would in a standard oven.

What to Serve With These Cream Cheese Muffins?

Primarily kids like to have these cream cheese muffins with milk, whereas I prefer mine with a cup of coffee. These air-fried cream cheese muffins will be a crowd-pleaser whether you eat them for a peaceful morning, take them on the move, or even bring them as it is to a party.

Essential Tips & Tricks:

• Make sure to soften the cream cheese before mixing by leaving it out at room temperature.
• If you have an electric mixer, the procedure will be significantly accelerated.
• The batter of this cake is denser than conventional muffin batter because it contains cream cheese. As a result, having another spoon available, on the other hand, is helpful to ease the process of putting this batter into the muffin molds.
• To achieve a better rise, substitute self-rising flour for the mixture of baking powder and flour.
• Cream cheese can also be used to make the icing.
