Ingredients :~ 8" pan ( I used a loaf pan )

• 125gm cream cheese (add up to 150gm if you prefer more cheesy )

  1. Heat up fresh milk in a saucepan and add cream cheese. Stir constantly using a hand whisk until cream cheese melted. Add the butter / margarine, stir until melted, turn off heat and set aside.
  2. Beat egg whites with sugar until a stiff peak is formed.
  3. In the larger bowl, beat egg yolks until fluffy. Add cheese mixture and stir.
