Ingredients

3 large Eggs
4 oz. Cream Cheese
1/4 tsp. Baking Powder
1/2 tsp. Vanilla Extract
2 tbsp. Allulose

Filling

3/4 cup Berries of choice Slice strawberries if using.
1 cup Heavy Whipping Cream
1 tbsp Allulose Optional

Instructions

Preheat oven to 275F. Separate the egg whites from the yolks. Whip the egg whites until they are foamy.
In a medium mixing bowl add the yolks, cream cheese, vanilla, baking powder, and erythritol and beat until smooth. (It helps if the cream cheese is room temp but it's not necessary)
Fold egg whites slowly into the egg yolk mixture, then spread evenly on a baking sheet covered with slightly oiled parchment paper.
Bake for 30-40ish minutes until golden brown. ( Ovens vary)
Let cool while you are slicing or washing berries and making the whipped cream.

Filling

Add the heavy whipping cream and sweetener if you are using any to your kitchen-aid on high and whip it. Whip it good.... until its fluffy. You can also use a hand mixer.
Slice strawberries if using.

Put it together

Slice the "cake" or "cloud bread" with a pizza cutter into nine even"ish" pieces.
Alternate layers of cake, whipped cream and berries. ( Three layers of cake)
Serve immediately...you can't keep these hanging around in the fridge.
Enjoy your treat!

Notes

The nutritional information in this recipe was calculated WITHOUT the berries. Since you can use any berry you choose, I left them out of the calculations.

Add the berry of choice to your carb calculations if you are on a strict Keto Diet:

1/4 cup sliced strawberries = 2.36 NET Carbs (according to the USDA)

1/4 cup fresh/frozen blueberries unsweetened = 4.46 NET Carbs (USDA)

1/4 cup of fresh blackberries = 1.56 NET Carbs (USDA)

I know which berries I will be adding!

The sugar alcohols are not calculated as carbohydrates on this site because it does not cause an insulin response in humans.
