How to Make Keto Lemon Cheesecake Cloud Bread
Step 1: Preheat Oven
Preheat oven to 300ยฐF (150ยฐC). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2: Separate Eggs
Carefully separate egg whites from yolks. Make sure no yolk gets into the whites.
Room temperature eggs whip better โ this matters!
Step 3: Beat the Egg Whites
Add cream of tartar to egg whites.
Beat on high speed until stiff peaks form. The mixture should hold its shape beautifully.
This is what gives that cloud-like texture.
Step 4: Make Cheesecake Base
In another bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth.
Add erythritol, egg yolks, lemon juice, and lemon zest.
Beat until creamy and fully combined.
Step 5: Fold Gently
Add one-third of the whipped egg whites into the cream cheese mixture and gently fold to lighten.
Then fold in remaining whites in two additions.
Use a soft hand โ we donโt want to deflate that airy structure.
Step 6: Shape & Bake
Scoop mixture into 6 rounds on prepared baking sheet.
Bake 20โ25 minutes until tops are lightly golden.
Step 7: Cool & Serve
Let cool completely. They will firm up as they cool.
Dust with powdered erythritol if desired.
What to Serve With It
- Fresh raspberries or blueberries
- Keto whipped cream
- Lemon curd (sugar-free)

- Hot herbal tea
Theyโre absolutely Pinterest-worthy with a berry garnish.
