This pastel swirl cloud bread loaf is a light and fluffy low-carb treat that features colorful swirls of whipped egg whites and cream cheese. It’s perfect as a gluten-free, keto-friendly bread alternative, made by gently folding cream cheese into stiffly beaten egg whites, then baking at a low temperature to create a soft, airy loaf with delightful pastel hues.

Ingredients

Scale

Cloud Bread Mixture

  • 4 large egg whites
  • 2 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 2 tbsp granulated sweetener
  • 0.5 tsp vanilla extract
  • 0.25 tsp cream of tartar

Food Coloring

  • 1–2 drops gel food coloring per bowl (pink, blue, yellow, green)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven & Prep: Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
  2. Cream Cheese Mixture: In a small bowl, whisk together the softened cream cheese, 1 tablespoon of the sweetener, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and creamy, ensuring no lumps remain.
  3. Whip Egg Whites: Using a clean mixing bowl and an electric mixer on medium-high speed, beat the egg whites with cream of tartar until foamy (about 1-2 minutes). Gradually add the remaining 1 tablespoon of sweetener and continue beating until stiff, glossy peaks form, which should take around 5-7 minutes.
  4. Fold Gently: Carefully fold the cream cheese mixture into the whipped egg whites in two additions using a rubber spatula. Fold just until combined to maintain the airy texture.
  5. Divide & Color: Divide the batter evenly into 3 to 4 small bowls. Add 1-2 drops of different gel food coloring to each bowl (pink, blue, yellow, green), and gently fold each until the color is just incorporated.
  6. Assemble Loaf & Swirl: On the prepared baking sheet, dollop spoonfuls of each colored batter alternately in a 6-8 inch loaf shape. Use an offset spatula or knife to gently swirl the colors together a few times to create a pastel marble effect.
  7. Bake to Perfection: Bake the loaf in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the cloud bread is puffed, golden brown around the edges, and fully set in the center.
  8. Cool & Serve: Allow the loaf to cool completely on the baking sheet before slicing and serving to maintain its delicate texture.

Notes

  • Use a clean, dry bowl and beaters when whipping egg whites to achieve maximum volume.
  • Be gentle when folding to keep the batter airy and light.
  • You can customize food coloring shades or omit for a plain white loaf.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days, best enjoyed fresh.
  • This recipe is naturally gluten-free and low-carb, perfect for keto diets.
