Prep & Cook Time
Prep time: 10 minutes
Cook time: 25-30 minutes
Servings: 4-6 pieces
Ingredients
3 large Egg whites (room temperature works best)
1/2 cup Low-fat cottage cheese (blended until smooth)
1 tbsp Cornstarch or Arrowroot powder
1/4 cup Fresh blueberries
1/2 tsp Vanilla extract
Optional: A pinch of cream of tartar (for stability) and a dash of stevia or honey for sweetness.
Instructions
Preheat & Prep: Preheat your oven to 150°C (300°F). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Blend the Base: Blend your cottage cheese until it is completely smooth and liquid-like. Stir in the vanilla extract and sweetener if using.
Whip the Whites: In a clean glass or metal bowl, whip the egg whites (and cream of tartar) using a hand mixer until stiff peaks form. You should be able to hold the bowl upside down without the eggs moving.
Fold Gently: Sift the cornstarch over the egg whites. Slowly pour in the blended cottage cheese. Using a spatula, gently fold the mixture together. Be careful not to deflate the air!
Form the Clouds: Scoop the mixture onto the baking sheet into 4-6 round mounds. Gently press a few blueberries into the top of each mound.
Bake: Bake for 25–30 minutes until the tops are golden brown and the bread feels firm to the touch.
Cool: Let them cool completely on the pan. They will "settle" slightly as they cool, giving them that signature chewy, airy texture.
Expert Tips
Storage: These are best eaten the day they are made, but you can store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.
The "Cotige" Twist: While the title uses a unique spelling, the secret is in the cottage cheese moisture—make sure it's blended well so you don't have chunky bits in your fluffy bread!
