🛒 Ingredients

For the 2-ingredient base

1½ cups (340 g) cottage cheese
2–3 tbsp powdered zero-calorie sweetener, or sweetener of choice

Optional flavor additions

1 tsp vanilla extract
1–2 tbsp sugar-free chocolate chips
½ tsp cinnamon
1 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
Fresh berries for topping

👩‍🍳 Instructions

1. Blend the cottage cheese

Add the cottage cheese to a high-speed blender or food processor.

Blend for 1–2 minutes, scraping the sides as needed, until completely smooth and creamy.

Don’t skip this step if you want the smooth, mousse-like texture shown in the picture.

2. Sweeten

Add your preferred sweetener.

Blend again for 20–30 seconds.

Taste and adjust the sweetness.

3. Add optional flavors

For a vanilla version, add vanilla extract.

For a chocolate-chip version like the pictured dessert, gently fold in 1–2 tbsp sugar-free mini chocolate chips after blending.

4. Chill

Transfer the mixture to a serving bowl, glass, or small container.

Refrigerate for 1–2 hours.

The mixture will become thicker and more cheesecake-like as it chills.

5. Serve

Spoon into cups and top with:

A few chocolate chips
Fresh berries
Cinnamon
A small dollop of Greek yogurt
Sugar-free chocolate drizzle

For an extra fluffy appearance, blend the chilled mixture briefly again before serving.

🍫 Chocolate Version

Add 1 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder to the cottage cheese and sweetener before blending.

For a richer chocolate flavor, add:

½ tsp vanilla
Tiny pinch of salt
1–2 tbsp sugar-free chocolate chips

🍓 Strawberry Version

Blend in ¼ cup fresh strawberries with the cottage cheese and sweetener.

Chill until thick and serve with sliced strawberries.

🌰 Nut & Allergy Information

Does the basic recipe contain nuts?

No. The two-ingredient base contains no peanuts or tree nuts.

Nut-free version

The basic recipe is naturally nut-free, but check packaged chocolate chips and sweeteners for cross-contact warnings.

Peanut butter variation

You can blend in 1 tbsp peanut butter, but this changes the recipe from the basic 2-ingredient version and makes it unsuitable for anyone with a peanut allergy.

Almond butter variation

You can use almond butter for a nutty flavor, but it will add tree nuts and additional calories.

Dairy

Cottage cheese is a dairy product, so this recipe is not dairy-free.

❓ Q&A

Is this really only 2 ingredients?

Yes—the basic version requires only cottage cheese and a sweetener. Vanilla, chocolate chips, cocoa, fruit, and other additions are optional.

Does it taste like cottage cheese?

Blending it very thoroughly dramatically reduces the characteristic cottage-cheese texture. With vanilla or chocolate added, it tastes more like a creamy cheesecake mousse.

Can I use full-fat cottage cheese?

Yes. It will produce a richer and creamier dessert but will contain more calories and fat.

Can I use low-fat cottage cheese?

Yes. This is a good option if you’re trying to keep the calories lower.

Can I use Greek yogurt instead?

Yes, but the texture and nutritional profile will change. Thick Greek yogurt produces a tangier, softer dessert.

Do I have to chill it?

For the best thick, pie-like texture, yes. You can eat it immediately after blending, but it will be softer.

Can I freeze it?

Yes. Freeze for about 1–2 hours for a semifrozen dessert. If frozen completely, allow it to soften for several minutes before eating.

How long does it last?

Keep it covered in the refrigerator and consume within 2–3 days for the best quality.

Can I add protein powder?

Yes. Add 1–2 tbsp vanilla or unflavored protein powder for additional protein. You may need a splash of milk if the mixture becomes too thick.

Why is my mixture watery?

Different cottage cheese brands contain different amounts of liquid. Drain excess liquid before blending if your cottage cheese is particularly watery.
