About This Recipe
What It Is
Berry Cottage Cheese Whip is a smooth, mousse-like blend of cottage cheese and berries whipped until completely creamy. The texture is similar to yogurt mousse or cheesecake filling, but lighter and far higher in protein.
Why It Works
Blending cottage cheese breaks down the curds into a silky base that naturally thickens without cream or gelatin. Berries add natural sweetness, color, and antioxidants while keeping the recipe fresh and vibrant.
When To Make It
This recipe works beautifully for busy mornings, post workout snacks, meal prep desserts, and even kid friendly after school treats. It requires no cooking and takes less than five minutes from blender to bowl.

Berry Cottage Cheese Whip
- Total Time: 5 minutes
- Yield: 2 servings 1x
Description
A creamy, high-protein Berry Cottage Cheese Whip made by blending cottage cheese with mixed berries, vanilla, and a touch of honey. It tastes like berry cheesecake fluff, ready in 5 minutes with no cooking.
Ingredients
1 cup cottage cheese (225 g)
1 cup mixed berries, fresh or frozen (140 g)
1 to 2 tablespoons honey (15 to 30 ml), optional
1 teaspoon vanilla extract (5 ml)
1 teaspoon lemon juice (5 ml)
Pinch of fine salt, optional
Instructions
1. Add the cottage cheese to a high-speed blender or food processor and blend 30 to 60 seconds until completely smooth.
2. Add the mixed berries, honey (if using), vanilla, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt (if using).
3. Blend 30 to 45 seconds until thick, creamy, and fully whipped. Scrape down the sides as needed.
4. Taste and adjust sweetness with a little more honey, or add an extra squeeze of lemon for brightness.
5. Serve right away, or chill 20 to 30 minutes for a thicker mousse-like texture.
Notes
For the smoothest texture, blend the cottage cheese by itself first, then add berries.
Frozen berries make the whip thicker and colder, like a soft-serve vibe.
If your blender struggles, add 1 to 2 tablespoons milk (15 to 30 ml) to help it move.
Make it higher protein by blending in 1 scoop unflavored or vanilla protein powder.
Storage: refrigerate in an airtight container up to 4 days. Stir before serving if any separation occurs.

Key Ingredients & Notes
Cottage Cheese
Use full fat cottage cheese for the creamiest texture, though low fat also works well. Small curd blends fastest. Cottage cheese is rich in casein protein, which keeps you full longer and creates a thick, whipped consistency once blended.
Substitution: Lactose free cottage cheese or blended silken tofu for a dairy sensitive option.
Mixed Berries
Strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, or blackberries all work. Frozen berries create a thicker, almost ice cream texture. Fresh berries create a lighter whip.
Natural Sweetener
Honey or maple syrup balances the tanginess of cottage cheese. Start small and adjust to taste.
Vanilla Extract
Adds warmth and dessert like flavor. Optional but highly recommended.
Lemon Juice
Just a splash brightens the berries and enhances sweetness without extra sugar.
How to Make Berry Cottage Cheese Whip
- Add 1 cup cottage cheese (225 g) to a high speed blender or food processor.
