👨🍳 How To Make
Follow this easy recipe:
Step 1

Step 2
Place the cream cheese, butter, and eggs into a blender. Pour in the heavy cream and blend everything together until smooth.
Step 3
Pour the blended mixture into a cube mold (a silicone ice cube tray works well).

Step 5
Remove from the oven and let cool completely before removing from the mold.
💡Tips
1. Room Temperature Ingredients Matter
Start with room temperature cream cheese and butter for the smoothest possible blend. Cold cream cheese straight from the refrigerator will leave lumps in your mixture no matter how long you blend it.
Take your cream cheese and butter out of the fridge at least 30 minutes before you start making the recipe. If you forget this step and are in a hurry, you can cut the cream cheese into small cubes and let it sit for 15 minutes – this will help it warm up faster.
The smoother your initial blend, the more “cloud-like” your final texture will be. Cold ingredients don’t incorporate air as effectively, which is essential for that light, airy quality that makes these cubes special.
2. Watch Your Blending Time
Blend your ingredients just until smooth and well combined – about 30-45 seconds in most blenders.
Overblending can incorporate too much air, causing your cubes to rise dramatically in the oven and then collapse when cooling, resulting in a dense, rubbery texture instead of the desired cloud like consistency.
You’ll know you’ve blended enough when you no longer see any streaks of cream cheese or butter, and the mixture has a smooth, pourable consistency similar to pancake batter.
3. Don’t Overfill Your Molds
Fill each cavity only about 80% full (about ¾ of the way up). The mixture will rise slightly during baking, and if you fill the molds completely to the top, they may overflow and create a mess in your oven.

FAQ
Can I add flavors to the cloud cubes?
Yes! While the basic recipe is delicious on its own, you can easily add flavors that fit with your carnivore approach.
A small amount of vanilla extract works well if you include that in your carnivore diet. For a more savory version, try adding a pinch of salt or some herbs like dried rosemary or thyme.

These sound interesting and I might have to test them. Did I miss the macros or did you not add them?
Can you link to the size of silicone mold you used? There are different sizes available. Can we just use a mini muffin pan?
Perfect for a light dinner.
