💭 Expert Tips

• If you do not have a food processor, you can blend up this creamy cottage cheese with a high-speed blender or immersion blender.
• Use Real Honey: Many brands of honey are not authentic. For the healthiest recipe, be sure to use real, raw honey.
• Serve Immediately: While you can store this in the fridge for a couple of days, it’ll have the best texture right after it’s been blended – so I recommend serving this immediately when you can!

📖 Variations 

• S’mores Flavor: Turn this into a blended cottage cheese dessert by mixing in some chocolate chips and mini marshmallows. Add some crushed graham crackers on top or use them for dipping!
• Cottage Cheese Ice Cream: That’s right! If you are having an ice cream craving but want something healthier, transform this recipe into a whipped cottage cheese dessert. Homemade ice cream has never been easier! All you need to do is throw the blended cottage cheese into the freezer for 4 hours or more. No ice cream maker is necessary! I personally love mixing in some peanut butter and chocolate chips or adding in vanilla extract. P.S. it has an even creamier texture than traditional ice cream!
• Cheesecake Using Cottage Cheese: You can make mini “cheesecakes” using this as the filling! Just blend up some graham cracker crumbs with a little bit of cold butter, add the crumbs to the bottom of a mason jar, top with the creamy cottage cheese, add another layer of graham cracker crumbs and top with fresh fruit!
• Cottage Cheese Alfredo Sauce: Make a delicious sauce for your pasta by adding in some skim milk, parmesan cheese, corn starch, garlic powder, and black pepper to this recipe. Heat over the stove top to warm.
• Creamy Dressing: Blended cottage cheese is perfect for a light cream dressing to use on salads. You can adjust the thickness by adding milk and playing around with herbs and seasonings. I like adding in lemon juice, garlic, and dill!
