Cloud Bread Rainbow Version

Featured in: Sweet Bites

This cloud bread bursts with vivid rainbow colors and offers a light, airy texture that melts in your mouth. Egg whites are whipped to glossy peaks, then gently combined with yolks, sugar, and cornstarch for structure. Separate into bowls, tint each portion with food coloring, and create a marbled rainbow swirl on a baking sheet. Bake until just set and slightly golden. This gluten-free delight is a playful treat, ideal for breakfast, snacks, or festive gatherings. Optional extracts or toppings like whipped cream and berries add even more variety.

A light, fluffy, and visually stunning cloud bread featuring vibrant rainbow colors—perfect for a fun breakfast or party treat.

Ingredients

  • Egg Mixture: 3 large eggs, separated, 3 tablespoons granulated sugar, 3 tablespoons cornstarch, 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar (optional, for stability), 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Color Additions: Red, yellow, blue, and green gel food coloring (or desired colors)

Instructions

Prepare Oven and Baking Sheet:
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Beat Egg Whites:
In a large, clean bowl, beat the egg whites and cream of tartar until soft peaks form. Gradually add sugar, beating until stiff, glossy peaks develop.
Combine Yolks:
In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, cornstarch, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Fold Mixtures:
Gently fold the egg yolk mixture into the whipped egg whites, being careful not to deflate the mixture.
Divide and Color Batter:
Divide the batter evenly into separate bowls for each color you want. Add a few drops of gel food coloring to each bowl and gently fold to combine.
Arrange and Bake:
Spoon colorful dollops onto the prepared baking sheet, side by side, to create a rainbow effect. Swirl gently with a spatula if desired for a marbled look. Bake for 25 minutes, or until the bread is set and lightly golden.
Cool and Serve:
Allow to cool for a few minutes before removing from the baking sheet. Serve immediately for the fluffiest texture.
