Preparation

Mixing

Baking

  3. Pour the batter into the prepared cupcake liners and place the tray in a larger baking pan filled with hot water (water bath). Bake for 25-30 minutes.

  2. Enjoy your delicious Fluffy Japanese Cotton Cheesecake Cupcakes!

Notes

For best results, ensure all ingredients are at room temperature. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, or freeze for up to 1 month. To reheat, allow them to come to room temperature or microwave for a few seconds.
