Ingredients

3 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, at room temperature
5 eggs, at room temperature
1 cup white sugar
1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
½ pint sour cream

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line 18 muffin cups with paper liners.
Beat cream cheese in a bowl using an electric mixer until smooth; add eggs, 1 at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next.

Bake in the preheated oven until set in the middle, about 35 minutes.

Bake cupcakes in the oven for 5 minutes more. Cool cupcakes to room temperature and refrigerate until chilled.
