You may not believe me when I tell you that if you take whipped cottage cheese and add some honey and vanilla that it would be amazing and even a dessert that people prefer to baked goods.

It is true! This simple creamy and delicious cottage cheese dip can definitely rival many desserts and this dip is actually healthy since it is made from cottage cheese and honey as the sweetener.

Ingredients needed

There are only three ingredients that you need (not including the cottage cheese) to make this delicious fruit dip. I bet you probably already have them on hand.

You will need:

• Cottage cheese
• Lemon
• Honey
• Vanilla extract

That is it! I love honey as a sweetener but you could totally use maple syrup or monk fruit if you have those on hand. Both are great liquid sweeteners and both keep this fruit dip healthy!

You can make this savory as well if you need a dip for veggies. Just scroll down to the bottom for some more ideas!

How to make cottage cheese dip

Making cottage cheese dip is as easy as adding a few ingredients to a food processor and blending them until smooth. The whole process takes just minutes.

Once you are done whipping up the cottage cheese dip ingredients, you just pour it into a bowl and eat right away. If there are any leftovers (this doesn't happen often) then you can refrigerate the dip for a couple days.

In our house, this dip only lasts for about an hour.

How To Serve Cottage Cheese Dip

My absolute favorite way to use this cottage cheese dip is with fresh fruit. You can use any fruit that is in season. Fresh fruit however is not the only amazing way to enjoy this dip.

Here are some of my favorite ways to enjoy it:

• I love using this top my goat cheese and strawberry crostini. I replace the goat cheese with this dip and it is so good.
• Spread on toast in the morning for a high protein breakfast.
• I love adding some of this to my granola cups when I want a sweet snack.
• I like adding in some homemade blackberry puree, nectarine jam or berry jam if I have it. In the Fall, I will add my homemade cranberry sauce or sugared cranberries for a delicious seasonal flavor.

Variations

If you prefer a savory dip, just follow the recipe the same except add in your favorite savory additions. A savory dip is great with veggies for dipping! Here are some ideas:

• Fresh herbs
• Olive oil
• Garlic (fresh would be best)
• Grated onion (think onion dip here!)

Get creative. This creamy dip is meant to be simple and delicious. Customize it to your taste and you will see why this easy dip is such a favorite around my house.

Storing

The great thing about this dip is that it stores really well. I like to make a large batch at the beginning of the week and store it in the fridge for a quick and healthy snack.

To store this easy dip, just place it in a container with a lid and store in the fridge for up to one week.
