Ingredients
3 large eggs, separated
½ cup full-fat cottage cheese, drained well and blended until smooth
1 tablespoon cornstarch
¼ teaspoon cream of tartar
1 tablespoon powdered sweetener (optional, such as powdered erythritol or allulose)
½ teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
½ teaspoon lemon zest (optional)
½ cup fresh blueberries
Instructions
1-Getting started with Blueberry Cottage Cheese Cloud: Begin by preheating your oven to 300°F (150°C) and lining a baking sheet with parchment paper to avoid any sticking. This step ensures your clouds bake evenly and come out just right. Once your setup is ready, you’ll blend the ingredients for a smooth batter that captures the essence of this fluffy recipe.
2-Next: drain the excess liquid from the cottage cheese and blend it until it’s completely smooth this helps create that ideal airy texture. In a clean bowl, beat the egg whites with cream of tartar until stiff peaks form, which is crucial for lift. Meanwhile, whisk the egg yolks with the cottage cheese mixture, including cornstarch, sweetener, vanilla extract, and lemon zest for added flavor.
3-Now: gently fold the yolk mixture into the whipped whites to keep the airiness intact. Carefully mix in the fresh blueberries so they’re distributed evenly without mashing them. Scoop the batter onto your baking sheet using a ¼ cup measure, spacing the mounds about 2 inches apart, and flatten them slightly with a spoon. Bake for 25-30 minutes until they’re golden and firm, then let them cool on the sheet before moving to a rack.
