Ingredients
  

Cloud Bread Base
  • 6 large egg whites room temperature
  • 0.5 cup granulated sugar or caster sugar
  • 2 tbsp cornstarch sifted
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract clear preferred
  • 0.5 tsp cream of tartar optional but recommended
Colors
  • 1 drop pink gel food coloring
  • 1 drop blue gel food coloring
  • 1 drop yellow gel food coloring

Equipment

  • Stand mixer or electric hand mixer
  • Glass or metal mixing bowls
  • Silicone spatula
  • Baking sheet or Loaf pan
  • Parchment paper

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C). Line a baking sheet or small loaf pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a spotlessly clean bowl, beat room temperature egg whites (and cream of tartar if using) until frothy.
  3. Gradually add sugar one tablespoon at a time while beating, until glossy, stiff peaks form.
  4. Gently fold in sifted cornstarch and vanilla extract using a silicone spatula.
  5. Divide the meringue evenly into three separate bowls.
  6. Add a drop of pink dye to one bowl, blue to the second, and yellow to the third. Fold gently until colored.
  7. Dollop alternating colors onto the prepared pan, forming a loaf shape.
  8. Bake for 25-30 minutes until the outside is dry and lightly golden. Cool slightly and serve immediately.

Notes

Ensure absolutely no egg yolk gets into the whites, or they will not whip. Use gel food coloring, not liquid, to prevent adding excess moisture to the meringue.
