Notes
- *How to whip cottage cheese
- Place cottage cheese in your blender or food processor. Blend until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides of the machine once or twice. Note: a high speed blender will make the silkiest texture.
- Taste and add a touch of honey or a drop of almond or vanilla extract if you like.
- You can use your whipped cottage cheese right away, or chill it for several hours to thicken it up.
- I like to pack it into a large jar and use throughout the week. It will last up 5 -7 days in the fridge.
