Light, frothy, and delicately spiced, Milk Fluff is a vintage-style drink that feels like sipping a cloud. Made with whipped egg white, cold milk, and a dusting of nutmeg or cinnamon, it’s a refreshing treat that’s part protein boost, part nostalgic charm.

Tips for Whipping Egg Whites Safely (and Drinking Them)
1. Use pasteurized eggs:
To reduce the risk of salmonella, use pasteurized egg whites (sold in cartons) or pasteurized whole eggs. These are safe to consume raw and whip just like fresh eggs.
2. Clean tools are key:
Make sure your bowl and beaters are completely grease-free—even a trace of oil or yolk can prevent egg whites from whipping properly.
3. Beat to stiff peaks:
Use a hand mixer or stand mixer on medium-high speed. You’ll know you’ve reached stiff peaks when the whites hold their shape and don’t slide off a spoon.
4. Serve immediately:
Milk Fluff is best enjoyed fresh. The foam will start to collapse if it sits too long.
No electric mixer? A balloon whisk and some elbow grease will work—it just takes longer!
