Whipped cottage cheese is super creamy and perfect for breakfast, dips and even spread on toast. Itโs been making its rounds on Tiktok and Iโm going to show you exactly how you can do it too.
If you want to love cottage cheese but canโt get past the texture, this version changes everything.
Cottage cheese is one of those foods people feel strongly aboutโand it usually comes down to texture, not taste. If thatโs been the dealbreaker for you, whipped cottage cheese might just change your mind!
Whatโs So Great About Whipped Cottage Cheese?
- No curds, no problem. Blending removes the lumpy texture completely, leaving you with something light, creamy, and smooth.
- Protein powerhouse. One cup packs around 25 grams of protein, making it an easy, dairy-based way to boost your intake.
- Sweet or savoryโyour call. Its mild flavor works with almost anything. Swirl in honey and fruit for breakfast or go savory with herbs, olive oil, or everything bagel seasoning.
Wondering how else you can enjoy this protein-packed ingredient? I have an entire page dedicated to my favorite cottage cheese recipes!
What Youโll Need
Hereโs a quick look at what youโll need to make this quick breakfast bowl with whipped cottage cheese.
- Cottage Cheese: My favorite cottage cheese brand is Good Culture, but you can use any that you like! I donโt recommend using a fat-free recipe for this one since a little bit of fat will add to the creaminess.
- Avocado & Cherry Tomatoes: These are the perfect nutrient-packed combo for these breakfast bowls.
- Sliced Almonds: Any nut will work perfectly here! You could also use cashews, pistachios, walnuts, or even sunflower seeds!
- โEverything But The Bagelโ Seasoning: Is there a seasoning thatโs better for breakfast than this one? Top your bowl with as much as you like for that everything bagel vibe.
- Whole Grain Toast or Whole Grain Crackers: Whether you choose toast or crackers to go with your blended cottage cheese, I highly recommend dipping! My favorite is Daveโs Killer Bread toast or Triscuit Thins.
How to Whip Cottage Cheese
- Add a 5.3 ounce container or 2/3 cups cottage cheese to a high-speed blender. Or, put cottage cheese in a tall, narrow glass that can fit an immersion blender.
- Blend for 1-2 minutes until creamy and smooth. Take breaks every 30 seconds or so to scrape sides. If your blender isnโt powerful enough or your cottage cheese is too thick, add 1 tbsp at a time of milk (any kind) to help blend.
Equipment Needed
- Traditional Blender or Food Processor: Iโve used my Ninja blender as well as my Nutribullet to make this whipped cottage cheese. Both worked perfectly! Make sure to take breaks every 20-30 seconds to scrape the sides and mix the cottage cheese as needed to get it as smooth as possible. You can use a food processor if you donโt have a blender.
- Or an Immersion Blender: You can also use a handheld immersion blender for this recipe. I have this one and I absolutely love it. Just add your cottage cheese to a tall, narrow glass or container that can fit your immersion blender.
Other Ways to Serve Blended Cottage Cheese
- Swirl in strawberry jam and then top with fresh strawberries and granola for a strawberry cheesecake cottage cheese bowl that seriously tastes like dessert.
- Mix in a packet of ranch seasoning or French onion dip seasoning with 15 oz. whipped cottage cheese for a savory high protein dip.
- Spread it on whole grain toast:
- Sweet: Swirl in honey and top with fresh fruit and nut butter
- Savory: Add sliced avocado and a drizzle of hot sauce
- Add a spoonful into your Alfredo sauce or tomato sauce for a creamy protein boost.

Use th cream cottage cheese as a base for rich tasting salad dressings in place if mayonnaise. Such as ranch, ready Lemon ginger,i or thousand island โฆ
Yes, love that idea!
I also use cottage cheese in place of mayo in my tuna. Full meal of protein!!!
This is one of the easiest, tastiest, healthiest breakfasts I have had in a long time. I am always trying to limit carbs and add more protein. All the flavors really compliment each other well. I grated a boiled egg over the top before adding the seasoning just because I thought it would be good, and it was!. Love the other comments about other uses for the blended cottage cheese. I will use it more often in other ways.
Yum! Adding a grated egg is a fabulous idea!
Canโt wait to try some of theseโฆ
But arenโt the carbs a bit high ?
Two slices of bread or a serving of crackers is a very normal amount of carbs for most people to have at a meal :). If you want to decrease the carbs, you could do less bread/crackers or just omit.
