I could eat plain cottage cheese every day, but now that it’s so popular, I’ve been thinking up new and more creative ways to enjoy it. Turns out that when you whip cottage cheese in a blender, something spectacular happens. It becomes light and creamy while keeping the cheesy flavor perfect for dips and sauces, all while being jam-packed with protein.

Why I love this recipe

Just ONE ingredient. All you need is a tub of cottage cheese. Versatile. Serve it as a dip with crackers and veggies, spread it on toast, serve it with fruit, or use it exactly as you would cheese sauce. So easy to customize. Use whatever variety of cottage cheese you prefer, and add different seasonings to give it a unique flavor. 15 grams of protein. All while being low in calories and fat. It’s so easy. You guys, I’m not kidding when I say this is my new favorite way to eat cottage cheese.

Ingredients needed

Cottage cheese. I had success with low-fat, fat-free, and full-fat cottage cheese, though I found full-fat and 4% had the creamiest texture. If you want to skip the dairy, I tested this using my dairy-free cottage cheese, and it works just as well.

As the name implies, it’s essentially cottage cheese that’s blended until completely smooth. This process adds air, making for a light, delicate sauce that tastes like regular cottage cheese.

Arman’s recipe tips

Periodically scrape down the sides of the blender. So the cottage cheese mixture gets completely blended. Let it chill. A few extra minutes in the fridge will give it time to thicken up considerably. Be patient. It can take a couple of minutes to fully blend each curd, so take your time and check it often with a spatula to see if it’s fully blended. Taste as you go, and add any seasonings as needed.

Storage instructions

To store: Leftover dip should be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days. I don’t recommend freezing it, as it’ll lose its creamy consistency once thawed. Once you whip cottage cheese, it can be used in all sorts of ways. Here are some ideas for what to do with savory or plain cottage cheese:

Add a dollop over Greek chicken bowls or salmon bowls Used as a spread on sandwiches Spread on toast or bagels with jam or hot honey sauce (as pictured!) Served in a bowl as dip with pita chips, carrots, and cucumbers Served with roasted tomatoes and fresh basil, bruschetta-style

Sweet cottage cheese:

Savory. Add salt, black pepper, garlic powder, extra-virgin olive oil, and lemon juice. Sweet. Add honey or maple syrup and a dash of cinnamon. Fresh herbs. Garnish with fresh dill, parsley, chives, green onions, or cilantro. Chocolate. Blend 1-2 tablespoons of cocoa powder and 1-2 tablespoons of maple syrup, and top with chocolate chips.
