Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Prep the Oven & Water Bath

  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C) .
  2. Fill a baking dish with 1–2 inches of water . Place a silicone cloud bread mold or muffin tin (lined with parchment paper) inside the water bath.

Step 2: Mix the Yolk Base

  1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the egg yolks , cottage cheese , blueberries , baking powder , salt , and vanilla (if using) until smooth.

Step 3: Beat the Egg Whites

  1. In a clean, dry bowl, beat the egg whites with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form (they should hold their shape when lifted).
  2. Avoid overbeating—just until peaks are stiff.

Step 4: Combine Everything

  1. Gently fold 1/3 of the egg whites into the yolk mixture to lighten it.
  2. Fold in the remaining egg whites in two additions, being careful not to overmix (this keeps it fluffy!).
  3. Gently mix in the blueberries last to avoid deflating the batter.

Step 5: Bake the Clouds

  1. Spoon the batter into the molds, filling each about ¾ full (they’ll rise!).
  2. Bake for 25–30 minutes until puffed and lightly golden.
  3. DO NOT OPEN THE OVEN during baking—this ensures they stay fluffy!

Step 6: Cool & Serve

  1. Let cool in the mold for 5 minutes, then carefully remove and transfer to a wire rack.
  2. Dust with sweetener or serve with whipped cream, sugar-free syrup, or fresh berries.

Savory Tips for Success

  • Dry the Blueberries : Pat frozen blueberries dry to avoid sogginess.
  • Use a Water Bath : Essential for even baking and a fluffy texture.
  • Gentle Folding : Overmixing deflates the batter—fold just until ingredients are incorporated.
  • Silicone Mold : A cloud bread mold works best, but a muffin tin lined with parchment paper is a great substitute.

Customization Ideas

  • Herb Twist : Add 1 tsp dried basil or chives to the batter.
  • Spice Up : Mix in cinnamon or nutmeg for a warmer flavor.
  • Cheesy Boost : Stir in ¼ cup shredded cheddar or Parmesan.
  • Nutty Crunch : Fold in ¼ cup chopped walnuts or pecans.
