Thanks to social media, this trend has been massive. You can easily take chunky cottage cheese (some don't love it) to a smooth, sweet cheesecake consistency or a tangy sour cream dip in 30 seconds!

What happens when you blend cottage cheese?

One of the key benefits of whipped cottage cheese is its smooth and creamy texture. This recipe offers a velvety mouthfeel, unlike traditional cottage cheese. The result is similar to that of thick Greek yogurt and cream cheese.

Its creaminess also makes it an excellent base for dips and dressings.

Is blended cottage cheese healthier than cheese?

Yes, blended cottage cheese packs quite a punch in terms of nutrition. It is low in calories but high in protein, making it an ideal choice for those looking to maintain or build muscle mass.

Additionally, it contains essential nutrients such as calcium, vitamin D, and phosphorus that support bone health.

Blended cottage cheese is not the same as ricotta cheese, although they share some similarities in terms of use in certain dishes. Ricotta is lumpy and has a mild and slightly nutty flavor, whereas cottage cheese is more tangy.

FAQS

HOW TO STORE:

This keeps in the fridge for up to 7 days from the cottage cheese opening.

CAN I FREEZE BLENDED COTTAGE CHEESE?

I don’t recommend freezing whipped cottage cheese. It will change the texture.

WHY WON'T IT STAY WHIPPED?

Use cottage cheese that has a higher fat content. Low-fat cottage cheese doesn’t hold as well. The high-speed blade of the blender could warm the cottage cheese. Place the cheese in the fridge to cool and stiffen.

WHAT ARE THE GOOD EFFECTS OF EATING COTTAGE CHEESE:

Tips and Tricks

Using a high-fat cheese content yields a creamier texture.

On a hot day, the creamed cottage cheese could start to melt. If serving it as a dip or a filling in a cake, keep it in the fridge until you are ready to serve it.
