Blended Cottage Cheese
Light and fluffy, cottage cheese is transformed into a perfect substitute for yogurt or creamy spread with this easy recipe.
Servings: 2 cups
Equipment
- 1 Food processor or blender
Ingredients
- 16 oz cottage cheese
Instructions
- Place the cottage cheese into the food processor and pulse for about 10 seconds, scraping down the sides with a spatula after. Blend for about 30 seconds.
- Continue to scrape down the sides of the food processor with a rubber spatula as needed, alternating with blending until smooth and fluffy. Transfer back to the container to store in the fridge or use immediately.
Notes
- Full fat or between 2-4% fat cottage cheese are recommended for the best taste and texture.
- A food processor will work best, but a blender can be used if blending a larger amount (at or more than 2 cups).
- For lower sodium, check out a low sodium cottage cheese like Friendship Dairies.
- If using for breakfast with berries, blend in honey or maple syrup to taste.
- If using for a sour cream replacement, add 1-2 teaspoons of distilled white vinegar.
