#### **Step 8: Let Them Cool**
Once baked, allow the cupcakes to cool in the tin for about 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. This cooling step is crucial, as it helps the cupcakes set and firm up just enough to hold their delicate shape.
#### **Step 9: Serve and Enjoy**
These cupcakes are best enjoyed fresh, but they can be stored in an airtight container for up to **2 days** at room temperature or in the fridge for **up to 5 days**. To serve, top them with a dusting of powdered sugar, a dollop of whipped cream, or a handful of fresh berries. The options are endless!
### **Tips for Perfect Japanese Cotton Cheesecake Cupcakes**
– **Room Temperature Ingredients**: For the best texture, make sure your **cream cheese** and **butter** are softened to room temperature before mixing. This will help create a smooth, lump-free batter.
– **Don’t Overmix**: When folding in the beaten egg whites, be gentle. Overmixing will deflate the air you worked hard to create and result in denser cupcakes.
– **Check Your Oven Temperature**: The key to fluffy cupcakes is baking them at a lower temperature. Ensure your oven is preheated correctly, and if necessary, use an oven thermometer to check for accuracy.
– **Chill for Extra Firmness**: If you like a firmer texture, refrigerating the cupcakes for a few hours will help them set even more, while keeping their soft, cheesecake-like texture.
– **Add Your Favorite Toppings**: These cupcakes are versatile! Try pairing them with a drizzle of chocolate sauce, a spoonful of fruit preserves, or a fresh berry compote for added flavor and flair.
