This pastel swirl cloud bread loaf is a light and fluffy baked treat featuring whipped egg whites and cream cheese, beautifully colored with gentle swirls of pastel hues. Perfect as a low-carb, gluten-free snack or breakfast option, it boasts a soft texture with a subtle sweet vanilla flavor enhanced by a creamy finish.

Ingredients

Scale

Base Mixture

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

Coloring

  • 1–2 drops gel food coloring each: pink, blue, yellow, green (optional colors for swirling)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven & Prep: Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to ensure the cloud bread doesn’t stick and bakes evenly.
  2. Cream Cheese Mixture: In a small bowl, whisk together the softened cream cheese, 1 tablespoon of the granulated sweetener, and vanilla extract until you achieve a smooth and creamy blend.
  3. Whip Egg Whites: Using an electric mixer on medium-high speed, beat the egg whites with cream of tartar in a large clean bowl until foamy, about 1-2 minutes. Gradually add the remaining tablespoon of sweetener and continue beating until stiff, glossy peaks form, approximately 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 3-4 small bowls. Add 1-2 drops of different gel food coloring to each bowl, such as pink, blue, and yellow. Gently fold each until just combined, preserving the fluffy consistency.
  6. Assemble Loaf & Swirl: On the prepared baking sheet, dollop spoonfuls of each colored batter alternately to form a loaf shape about 6-8 inches long. Use an offset spatula or knife to gently swirl the colors together a few times for a beautiful pastel effect.
  7. Bake to Perfection: Bake the loaf for 25-30 minutes until it puffs up, turns golden brown on the edges, and is set in the center.
  8. Cool & Serve: Allow the cloud bread loaf to cool completely on the baking sheet before slicing. Enjoy as a light sandwich bread or a colorful snack.

Notes

  • Ensure egg whites are beaten to stiff peaks to achieve the characteristic cloud bread fluffiness.
  • Use gel food coloring to achieve vibrant swirls without altering the batter consistency.
  • Let the bread cool fully before cutting to maintain its shape and texture.
  • This bread is best consumed the same day but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
  • Adjust sweetness by choosing your preferred granulated sweetener or sugar.
