What desserts can be made from cottage cheese?

Cottage cheese works in mousses, cheesecakes, puddings, parfaits, and even ice cream. When blended, it becomes creamy enough to rival yogurt or cream cheese—perfect for layering, dipping, or scooping.

Is cottage cheese OK for weight loss?

Yes—especially the low-fat variety. With around 90–120 calories per serving and 13–14 grams of protein, it fills you up and helps control cravings without packing on sugar or excess fat.

What can I make out of cottage cheese?

Beyond desserts, you can make pancakes, dips, flatbreads, stuffed veggies, and high-protein smoothies. Try it in our pumpkin dump cake recipe or swap it into this mango mousse cake for a lighter twist.

How to eat cottage cheese sweet?

Blend it with fruit, honey, cocoa, or cinnamon. Layer with berries and granola, or freeze it into soft serve. You can also spread it on toast with nut butter and banana for a protein-rich dessert toast.
