# Ingredients:
→ Airy Cloud Foundation
01 -
1 cup full-fat cottage cheese
02 -
4 large eggs, separated
03 -
1/4 tsp cream of tartar
04 -
2 tbsp granulated sugar
→ Bursting Berry Sweetness
05 -
1 cup fresh blueberries
06 -
2 tbsp maple syrup
07 -
1 tsp vanilla extract
→ Lift & Luminous Zest
08 -
1/2 tsp baking powder
09 -
1/4 tsp salt
10 -
1 tsp lemon zest
11 -
1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
→ Delicate Dusting
12 -
1 tbsp powdered sugar, for dusting
# Instructions:
01 -
Preheat your oven to 350°F. Line a 9x13 inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal. This ensures your Fluffy Cottage Cheese Blueberry Cloud Bread Recipe won't stick and makes cleanup a breeze.
02 -
In a large bowl, combine 1 cup full-fat cottage cheese (Airy Cloud Foundation), 4 large egg yolks (from the separated eggs), 2 tbsp maple syrup (Bursting Berry Sweetness), 1 tsp vanilla extract (Bursting Berry Sweetness), 1 tsp lemon zest (Lift & Luminous Zest), 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon (Lift & Luminous Zest), 1/2 tsp baking powder (Lift & Luminous Zest), and 1/4 tsp salt (Lift & Luminous Zest). Mix until well combined.
03 -
In a separate, very clean bowl, using an electric mixer, beat the 4 large egg whites (Airy Cloud Foundation) with 1/4 tsp cream of tartar (Airy Cloud Foundation) until soft peaks form. Gradually add 2 tbsp granulated sugar (Airy Cloud Foundation) and continue beating until stiff, glossy peaks are achieved.
04 -
Carefully fold 1 cup fresh blueberries (Bursting Berry Sweetness) into the cottage cheese mixture. Be gentle to avoid crushing the berries. This step adds the delightful bursts of sweetness to your Fluffy Cottage Cheese Blueberry Cloud Bread Recipe.
05 -
Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the blueberry-cottage cheese mixture in two additions. Use a spatula and a light hand to preserve the airiness. Overmixing will deflate the whites, impacting the 'cloud' texture of this Fluffy Cottage Cheese Blueberry Cloud Bread Recipe.
06 -
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly. Bake for 25 minutes, or until the cloud bread is golden brown and set in the center. A toothpick inserted should come out clean.
07 -
Let the cloud bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before lifting it out using the parchment paper overhang. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Just before serving, dust generously with 1 tbsp powdered sugar (Delicate Dusting).
# Notes:
01 -
For the fluffiest texture, ensure your egg whites bowl and beaters are completely grease-free before whipping. Any trace of fat can prevent them from reaching stiff peaks.
02 -
Store leftover Fluffy Cottage Cheese Blueberry Cloud Bread in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. It's delicious chilled or gently warmed.
03 -
Feel free to experiment with other berries like raspberries or chopped strawberries, or add a pinch more lemon zest for an extra bright flavor.
04 -
This cloud bread is wonderful served as a light breakfast, a unique dessert, or even a snack. Pair it with a dollop of Greek yogurt or a drizzle of extra maple syrup.
