    Whipped Cottage Cheese

    Whipped cottage cheese is cottage cheese that has been mixed in a food processor or blender until it is creamy, light and smooth. It is so easy and it is ready from start to finish in just minutes.

    Cottage cheese is a healthy breakfast, lunch or snack that is high in protein so it will keep you full longer, making it a great addition to your diet. Whipping the cottage cheese will not change the flavor but it will give it a wonderful creamy texture.

    In our family, we love whipping up the cottage cheese because everyone loves the creamy texture since they are not fans of traditional cottage cheese. Try this easy way to eat cottage cheese especially if you have picky eaters in your house.

    How to make whipped cottage cheese

    Making whipped cottage cheese is so simple. Whipping the cottage cheese until it is light and fluffy takes only minutes in a food processor and anyone can do it.

    This light and fluffy whipped cottage cheese makes a great base to fresh fruit or a high protein healthy spread over some toast. You can even make it into a savory meal but adding in your favorite savory toppings.

    First thing you want to do is get out a food processor and add the cottage cheese to it. I prefer using a food processor instead of a blender because you do not need to add as much cottage cheese when whipping it up.

    If you do decide to use a blender, you will need to add a little more cottage cheese to the blender to ensure there is enough to blend evenly. You will also want to remember to scrape down the sides of the blender.

    You only need to mix the cottage cheese in the food processor for a couple minutes. The longer you mix, the smoother it becomes!

    I use the low speed setting so the cottage cheese whips up evenly.

    Ways to serve this whipped cheese

    There are so many great ways to use this delicious whipped cheese. You can use whipped cottage cheese the same way you would regular cottage cheese.

    For more cottage cheese recipe inspiration, here are some of our favorites.

    • We love using this as a base for fresh fruit. Fruit goes so well with cottage cheese.
    • We love mixing in our homemade Nectarine jam or blueberry sauce for a quick breakfast.
    • Make this whipped cottage cheese into cottage cheese dip for fruit by adding in some delicious flavor additions.
    • You can make this into a healthy savory dip by adding in your favorite savory spices (think Ranch and French onion dip).
    • Spread it over toast along with some fresh homemade berry preserves for the perfect breakfast. Trust me!
    • Use it as a topping for granola cups.

    Best cottage cheese for whipping

    When making this recipe, it helps to use a good quality cottage cheese like Good culture. You can use whatever cottage cheese you have on hand but try to make sure it is not fat free.

    Using cottage cheese with a little fat in it helps it whip up into a really creamy cottage cheese. I love using a 2% fat cottage cheese for this recipe.

      It came out so creamy! I can’t wait to make this again. We made it for breakfast with fresh fruit and added a little honey- so good
