1 1/2 cups 2% Small Curd Cottage Cheese
02 -
4 large Eggs, separated
03 -
2 tbsp Cornstarch
04 -
1/2 tsp Cream of Tartar
05 -
1/4 tsp Fine Sea Salt
06 -
1/2 tsp Baking Powder
→ Sweet Blueberry Infusion
07 -
1 cup Fresh or Frozen Blueberries (if frozen, do not thaw)
08 -
1/4 cup Granulated Sugar
09 -
1 tsp Pure Vanilla Extract
→ Bright Flavor Boosters
10 -
1 tsp Lemon Zest
11 -
1/2 tsp Ground Cinnamon
12 -
1/4 tsp Almond Extract
# Instructions:
01 -
Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Line a 9x13 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal. Lightly grease the parchment. This preparation ensures your Cottage Cheese Blueberry Cloud Bread | Fluffy & High Protein bakes evenly.
02 -
In a large bowl, combine 1 1/2 cups 2% Small Curd Cottage Cheese, 4 large Egg yolks (reserve whites), 2 tbsp Cornstarch, 1/4 tsp Fine Sea Salt, 1/2 tsp Baking Powder, 1 tsp Pure Vanilla Extract, 1 tsp Lemon Zest, 1/2 tsp Ground Cinnamon, and 1/4 tsp Almond Extract. Blend with an immersion blender or food processor until completely smooth.
03 -
In a separate, very clean bowl, whip the 4 large Egg whites with 1/2 tsp Cream of Tartar using an electric mixer on medium-high speed. Gradually add 1/4 cup Granulated Sugar, continuing to whip until stiff, glossy peaks form. This creates the airy structure for your Cottage Cheese Blueberry Cloud Bread | Fluffy & High Protein.
04 -
Carefully fold about one-third of the whipped egg whites into the cottage cheese mixture to lighten it. Then, gently fold in the remaining egg whites in two additions, being careful not to deflate the mixture. Use a spatula and a light hand for maximum fluffiness.
05 -
Gently fold in 1 cup Fresh or Frozen Blueberries (do not thaw if frozen) into the cloud bread batter. Distribute them evenly without overmixing. This step adds a burst of fruity flavor to your high-protein cloud bread.
06 -
Pour the batter into the prepared 9x13 inch baking pan. Bake for 25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. The Cottage Cheese Blueberry Cloud Bread | Fluffy & High Protein will puff up significantly.
07 -
Remove the pan from the oven and let the cloud bread cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes. Then, use the parchment paper overhang to lift it out onto a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
# Notes:
01 -
For the smoothest cottage cheese base, ensure you blend it thoroughly. Any small curds remaining will affect the texture of your cloud bread.
02 -
Store leftover Cottage Cheese Blueberry Cloud Bread | Fluffy & High Protein in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. It's delicious chilled or gently warmed.
03 -
Feel free to experiment with other berries like raspberries or chopped strawberries. Adjust sugar slightly if using tart berries.
04 -
This cloud bread is fantastic on its own, or try it with a dollop of Greek yogurt, a drizzle of honey, or a sprinkle of powdered sugar for an extra treat.
