Ingredients
-
1 cup mascarpone cheese (room temperature)
-
4 large eggs (separated)
-
1 tsp cream of tartar
-
1 tbsp sweetener of your choice (like monk fruit or erythritol)
-
1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
-
-
Pinch of salt
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Ingredients
-
Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
Separate the egg whites and egg yolks into two different bowls.
Step 2: Beat the Egg Whites
-
Add the cream of tartar and a pinch of salt to the egg whites.
-
Using an electric mixer, beat the egg whites on high speed until stiff peaks form. This should take about 3-5 minutes. Stiff peaks are important to get the light, airy texture of the bread.
Step 3: Make the Mascarpone Mixture
-
In a separate bowl, whisk together the mascarpone cheese, egg yolks, sweetener, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined. The mixture should be thick and creamy.
Step 4: Fold the Mixtures Together
-
Carefully fold the mascarpone mixture into the whipped egg whites. Use a spatula and fold gently to avoid deflating the egg whites, which will help maintain the light texture of the bread.
Step 5: Shape & Bake
-
Spoon the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, forming 6-8 rounds, depending on how large you want the bread pieces.
-
Smooth the tops of the rounds slightly to ensure even baking.
-
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the bread feels firm to the touch.
Step 6: Cool & Serve
-
Allow the cloud bread to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
-
Once cooled, serve and enjoy! You can top it with butter, use it for sandwiches, or enjoy it as a snack.
Notes
Use Room Temperature Mascarpone – Make sure your mascarpone is at room temperature to prevent lumps and create a smooth mixture.
Beat the Egg Whites Well – The key to a light and airy texture is beating the egg whites to stiff peaks. This step is crucial, so be patient!
Gently Fold the Mixtures – When combining the mascarpone mixture with the whipped egg whites, be gentle to keep as much air in the batter as possible.
Watch the Baking Time – Don’t overbake the cloud bread. You want it golden brown on top but still soft inside.
