Rainbow Unicorn Cloud Bread Recipe

Introduction

Rainbow Unicorn Cloud Bread is a whimsical, light, and fluffy treat that’s as fun to make as it is to eat. With soft, billowy texture and vibrant pastel colors, it’s perfect for adding a magical touch to any snack time.

Ingredients

• 3 large egg whites
• 2 1/2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• Gel food coloring (pink and blue)
• Sprinkles for topping

Instructions

1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Step 2: In a large bowl or stand mixer bowl, whip the egg whites until frothy.
3. Step 3: Gradually add the sugar while continuing to whip. Sift in the cornstarch and keep whipping on high speed until the mixture forms glossy, thick peaks that hold their shape, about 5 minutes. Be careful not to over-whip.
4. Step 4: Divide the meringue into two bowls if desired, and add a few drops of pink gel food coloring to one and blue to the other for vibrant colors.
5. Step 5: Gently spoon the colored meringue onto the prepared baking sheet, shaping it into a round loaf shape. Optionally, add sprinkles on top for a festive look.
6. Step 6: Bake for 25-30 minutes until the top is slightly browned. Remove from oven and let cool completely before carefully peeling the cloud bread off the parchment paper.

Tips & Variations

• Use gel food coloring instead of liquid to avoid thinning the meringue.
• Try separating the meringue into more bowls to create a rainbow of colors for an even more magical effect.
• Add a drop or two of vanilla or almond extract to the meringue for extra flavor.
• Serve with fresh fruit or a dollop of whipped cream for a delightful snack.

Storage

Store cloud bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. It is best enjoyed fresh as it may lose its fluffiness over time. To refresh, warm gently in a low oven for a few minutes before serving.

How to Serve

Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.

FAQs

Can I use liquid food coloring instead of gel?

Liquid food coloring can make the meringue too runny and affect the texture, so gel food coloring is recommended for bright colors without compromising the meringue stability.

What if my egg whites don’t whip up properly?

Make sure no yolk is mixed with the whites and your bowl is completely clean and dry. Also, room temperature egg whites whip better than cold ones. Avoid any grease or moisture for the best volume.

Ingredients

Scale 1x2x3x

Cloud Bread Base

• 3 large egg whites
• 2 1/2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch

Coloring and Topping

• Gel food coloring (pink and blue)
• Sprinkles

Instructions

1. Preheat Oven: Heat your oven to 300°F (149°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
2. Whip Egg Whites: In a large bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer, whip the egg whites until they become frothy, which helps start the meringue base.
3. Add Sugar and Cornstarch: Gradually add the granulated sugar while continuing to whip, then sift in the cornstarch. Beat on high speed until the mixture forms glossy, thick peaks that hold firmly, about 5 minutes. Be careful not to overwhip as it can affect the texture.
4. Color the Meringue: Divide the whipped egg whites into two separate bowls and gently fold in a few drops of gel food coloring into each bowl to create vibrant pink and blue colors, adjusting the intensity to your preference.
5. Shape the Cloud Bread: Scoop the colored meringue onto the prepared baking sheet and shape it into a rounded loaf or cloud-like shape. Sprinkle the top with colorful sprinkles for a whimsical finish.
6. Bake: Bake the shaped meringue in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, until the surface is slightly browned but still soft.
7. Cool and Serve: Allow the cloud bread to cool completely on the baking sheet, then carefully peel it off the parchment paper to avoid breakage. Serve as a light, airy treat.

Notes

• Do not overwhip the egg whites, as this can cause the meringue to collapse.
• Gel food coloring is recommended to avoid adding too much liquid, which can destabilize the meringue.
• You can add a drop or two of flavor extract, such as vanilla, if desired.
• Cloud bread is best enjoyed fresh on the day it’s made.
• Use fresh eggs for best whipping results.
