Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 3 large eggs, separated
- 1/4 cup (60 ml) cottage cheese
- 1/4 cup (40 g) fresh blueberries
Sweeteners and Flavoring:
- 1 tablespoon (15 ml) honey or sweetener of choice
- 1/2 teaspoon (2.5 ml) vanilla extract
Stabilizing Ingredient:
- 1/4 teaspoon (1.25 g) cream of tartar
Instructions
- Prepare the oven to 300F (150C) and arrange a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Whip egg whites with cream of tartar using an electric mixer until they create sturdy, glossy peaks that hold their shape.
- Combine egg yolks, cottage cheese, honey, and vanilla extract in a separate mixing bowl, stirring until achieving a velvety, uniform consistency.
- Delicately incorporate the whipped egg whites into the yolk mixture, using a gentle folding technique to maintain the airy texture.
- Tenderly introduce fresh blueberries into the batter, distributing them evenly without deflating the mixture.
- Use a spoon to carefully deposit small, uniform cloud-like rounds onto the prepared baking sheet, ensuring consistent sizing.
- Transfer the baking sheet to the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, watching for a golden-brown exterior that indicates perfect doneness.
- Remove from the oven and allow the cloud bread to cool completely, which helps stabilize its delicate structure before serving.
Notes
- Whip egg whites meticulously to achieve maximum volume, ensuring soft peaks are sturdy and glossy for the fluffiest texture possible.
- Fold ingredients gently using a figure-eight motion to preserve the delicate air bubbles, maintaining the cloud bread’s signature light consistency.
- Opt for fresh blueberries and distribute them evenly throughout the batter to prevent sinking and ensure balanced flavor in every bite.
- Consider dairy-free alternatives like coconut cream or silken tofu for those with lactose sensitivities, adapting the recipe without compromising its ethereal structure.
