Ingredients you will need
To make my Whipped Cottage Cheese you will need:
- Cottage cheese
- Honey
Ingredients Notes & Substitutions
- Cottage cheese: I find full-fat cottage cheese makes a much more delicious dip. You could use ricotta, but because you blend the cheese you end up with a similar result, cottage cheese is higher in protein and more economical.
- Honey*:Any sweetener will work, I have used both maple syrup and stevia in the post both to great success.
* if you are making this recipe for a baby under 1 year of age, please do not use honey as the sweetener.

Top Tips
Here is how you can make these whipped cottage cheese perfectly every time!
- Serve as an alternative to Greek yogurt, or cream cheese. It is actually lovely smeared on a bagel with berries or sliced banana.
- You can also flavor your whipped cottage cheese with vanilla extract or cinnamon,
- Make a dessert by layering it with berries. Raspberries, strawberries and blueberries all taste nice with it.
- I will often top it with an extra drizzle of honey and some chopped nuts or a few chocolate chips to make it even more tempting for my kids.
- Store your whipped cottage cheese dip in an airtight container in the fridge for up to four days.

FAQs
Whipped cottage cheese is even smoother than ricotta, it is also higher in protein than ricotta.
For many people the texture of cottage cheese is off-putting, this can be changed by whipping the cottage cheese either in a food processor or in a blender.
If you do not have a blender or food processor you can smooth cottage cheese by passing it through a sieve. Use the back of a spoon to press it through the sieve, then give the sieved cheese a quick whisk.
