Ingredients You’ll Need

Each ingredient in Fluffy Cottage Cheese Blueberry Cloud Bread is chosen for a special reason. With just a handful of pantry staples and a few fresh extras, you’ll create a batch of bread that’s as beautiful as it is delicious.

Eggs (3 large, separated): The secret to that signature cloud-like lift! Separating and whipping the egg whites yields the perfect, airy crumb.
Full-fat cottage cheese (½ cup, drained and blended): Adds a creamy texture and a subtle tang—make sure it’s well-drained for best results.
Cornstarch (1 tablespoon): Keeps the bread structure soft but sturdy, so it holds its shape after baking.
Cream of tartar (¼ teaspoon): Stabilizes the egg whites, creating stable, fluffy peaks every time.
Powdered sweetener (1 tablespoon, optional): For just a touch of sweetness—feel free to use your favorite brand, or skip it altogether.
Vanilla extract (½ teaspoon, optional): Brings out the natural sweet notes and adds a cozy warmth.
Lemon zest (½ teaspoon, optional): Brightens the flavor profile and complements the blueberries perfectly.
Fresh blueberries (½ cup): The star add-in—plump, juicy berries that make each bite sing with freshness!

How to Make Fluffy Cottage Cheese Blueberry Cloud Bread

Step 1: Prepare Your Oven and Baking Sheet

Start by heating your oven to 300°F (150°C) and lining a baking sheet with parchment paper. This ensures your Fluffy Cottage Cheese Blueberry Cloud Bread won’t stick and makes cleanup a breeze. Having everything ready before you start mixing sets you up for success.

Step 2: Drain and Blend the Cottage Cheese

Pour off any excess liquid from your cottage cheese for a thicker, creamier final result. If needed, transfer the cottage cheese to a fine-mesh strainer for a minute or two. Blend it until velvety smooth using an immersion blender or food processor—a silky base helps avoid any curd-y texture in your finished cloud bread.

Step 3: Beat the Egg Whites

In a clean, dry bowl, beat the egg whites with the cream of tartar until they form stiff, glossy peaks. Don’t rush this step! Whipping air into the whites is what gives your Fluffy Cottage Cheese Blueberry Cloud Bread its trademark loft and delicate crumb.

Step 4: Mix the Yolk Mixture

Combine the egg yolks, your creamy blended cottage cheese, vanilla, lemon zest, sweetener (if using), and cornstarch. Whisk until fully smooth. This is where all those bright flavors and rich textures come together, bringing personality to every cloud.

Step 5: Carefully Combine the Mixtures

Take your time folding the yolk mixture into the fluffy whites using a spatula. Gentle folding is crucial—preserving those precious air bubbles is what keeps these breads so light and airy!

Step 6: Add the Blueberries

Now comes the fun part: softly fold in the blueberries, gently scattering them through the batter. Too much stirring will deflate your clouds, so fold only until the berries are evenly distributed.

Step 7: Scoop and Arrange the Bread

Use a ¼ cup measuring cup for perfectly portioned clouds. Drop dollops of the batter onto your prepared baking sheet, leaving a couple of inches between each to allow room for a gentle puff as they bake.

Step 8: Bake Until Golden

Bake in your preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the breads are golden on top and slightly firm to the touch. The sweet aroma and hints of blueberry wafting from your kitchen will have everyone peeking in!

Step 9: Cool and Enjoy

Let your Fluffy Cottage Cheese Blueberry Cloud Bread cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes to help them set, then transfer carefully to a wire rack. They’ll firm up even more as they cool—don’t fret if they seem a bit delicate at first.

How to Serve Fluffy Cottage Cheese Blueberry Cloud Bread

Garnishes

Dress up your cloud breads with a dusting of powdered sweetener, a drizzle of honey, or a dollop of whipped cream and extra blueberries. The tender, slightly sweet flavor pairs beautifully with a sprinkle of lemon zest or a few fresh mint leaves for a pop of color and fragrance.

Side Dishes

Pair Fluffy Cottage Cheese Blueberry Cloud Bread with a bowl of Greek yogurt, a fresh fruit salad, or a rich cup of coffee for a comforting breakfast. For a light brunch spread, serve alongside crispy bacon, a veggie omelet, or smoked salmon—this bread knows how to shine in any setting!

Creative Ways to Present

Stack the cloud breads high on a pretty cake stand for a dramatic centerpiece, or split them and slather with nut butter for a fun snack. Try mini “cloud sandwiches” with a swipe of mascarpone and extra berries between layers for a gorgeous party treat. The possibilities are as boundless as your imagination!

Make Ahead and Storage

Storing Leftovers

If you’re lucky enough to have leftovers, keep your Fluffy Cottage Cheese Blueberry Cloud Bread in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They’ll stay fresh for up to 3 days, though their texture is best on the first day.

Freezing

You can freeze these cloud breads for longer storage. Layer them between sheets of parchment in a freezer-safe bag or container to prevent sticking. Thaw in the fridge for a few hours, and enjoy within a month for best flavor.

Reheating

To revive that pillowy texture, gently reheat the bread in a low oven (around 275°F) for 5-8 minutes. A quick zap in the microwave works in a pinch, but the oven method keeps them fluffier and prevents sogginess.

FAQs

Why is my cloud bread not fluffy?

The most common culprit is underbeating the egg whites or overmixing after combining. Make sure to whip the whites to stiff peaks and fold ingredients together gently to trap as much air as possible.

What can I use instead of cornstarch?

If cornstarch isn’t handy, try arrowroot starch or potato starch for a similar effect. These alternatives keep Fluffy Cottage Cheese Blueberry Cloud Bread light while providing the structure it needs.

Can I use frozen blueberries?

Absolutely! Just toss frozen berries in a bit of cornstarch before folding them in, which helps minimize extra moisture and prevents the dough from getting soggy.

Is there a dairy-free version of this recipe?

You can experiment with thick, unsweetened dairy-free yogurts or cream cheese-style alternatives, but the texture and flavor may change. Full-fat dairy cottage cheese yields the fluffiest, most traditional results.

How do I blend cottage cheese without a blender?

If you don’t have a blender, push cottage cheese through a fine-mesh sieve or mash well with a fork. The goal is a smooth, creamy consistency that will blend seamlessly into your cloud bread batter.

Final Thoughts

Fluffy Cottage Cheese Blueberry Cloud Bread has a truly magical texture and flavor that will surprise and delight anyone who tries it. Whether you’re making an indulgent breakfast, a light snack, or something special for brunch with friends, I can’t recommend this recipe enough—give it a try and see just how quick, fun, and utterly delicious your kitchen can smell!
