Garlic and Herb Whipped Cottage Cheese

Soft, creamy, and full of cozy flavor, this garlic herb whipped cottage cheese dip is a high-protein dip that’s perfect for snacking or spreading. If you’re tired of sweet cottage cheese bowls, this savory whipped version is a cozy change of pace. 

It’s garlicky, herby, and perfectly spreadable. Best of all, it comes together in just 5 minutes.

Each serving of this savory cottage cheese spread has only 2.1g net carbs and 5.9g of protein. It’s light enough to scoop with veggie sticks. But it’s also rich enough to use as a full-on toast topping.

I usually whip a tub of cottage cheese right after my weekly grocery shop. Then I mix in different flavors throughout the week. This keto garlic and herb dip version is one of my go-to favorites.

This dip is my go-to appetizer and easy snack with fresh veggies, flax crackers, or warm toast.

I love this protein-packed creamy dip on a slice of keto cottage cheese focaccia for a high-protein breakfast. Or spread thick on warm cottage cheese toast in the morning. It also works great as a high-protein snack, veggie dip, a sauce base, or something to eat straight from the bowl.

This Whipped Cottage Cheese Dip Is

• Creamy, savory, and spreadable
• High protein and sugar free
• Ready in 5 minutes with no cooking
• Perfect for toast, wraps, bowls, or dipping
• Keto, gluten free, and blood sugar friendly

Instructions

1. Add the cottage cheese to a small food processor or use an immersion blender. Blend until smooth, light, and creamy. You want it fully whipped with no visible curds or lumps.
2. Stir in the garlic powder, rosemary, and black pepper. Mix with a spoon or spatula until the seasoning is evenly distributed and the texture looks soft and fluffy. Taste before serving and adjust the salt to your liking.
3. Serve immediately or refrigerate for 1 hour to let the flavors meld. This gives the herbs time to bloom and makes the spread even thicker and creamier.

Testing Notes

I tested this with both whipped and curd-style cottage cheese. You can use either, but starting with a whipped version saves time and gives the best texture.

I make one tub’s worth every week and adjust the flavor depending on what I’m eating. Garlic and rosemary are always a favorite.

It keeps well in the fridge and tastes even better after a few hours chilled. I use it on everything from mug bread to leftover chicken.

Most store-bought high-protein dips taste bland or overly salty. This one is bright, herby, and full of flavor with no fillers.

Ingredient Swaps

• Cottage cheese: Full-fat cottage cheese gives the creamiest result, but low fat works if it’s already blended. You can swap it for plain Greek yogurt or cream cheese as well.
• Herbs: You can swap rosemary with fresh parsley, dill, or even basil, depending on what you have. 
• Garlic powder: Fresh minced garlic works too, but the flavor will be stronger.

Storage Tips

• Fridge: Store any leftover whipped cottage cheese dip in an airtight container up to 5 days. Store leftovers in the refrigerator and give it a stir before serving.
• Freezer: Not ideal – the texture turns watery.
• Meal prep tip: Blend a full tub of cottage cheese after grocery day and flavor portions as needed.

Make It a Moment

This whipped dip turns a slice of keto cottage cheese focaccia into a full meal.
Or use it as a spread on cottage cheese toast with eggs, smoked salmon, or even leftover grilled veggies.

It also works beautifully as a topping for roasted cauliflower, inside lettuce wraps, or as a quick lunch dip with fresh-cut vegetables like cucumber, bell pepper, or cherry tomatoes for an easy snack.

Conclusion

Since starting keto in 2019, the recipes that stick are always the ones that feel easy and comforting.

This whipped garlic and herb cottage cheese spread is one of those: simple, high protein, and deeply satisfying. It’s the kind of creamy dip that makes veggies, toast, and even leftovers taste better, no extra work needed. 

It’s one of those things you make once and keep in the fridge all week – just waiting for toast, veggies, or a quiet snack break. 

FAQ

Can I use store-bought whipped cottage cheese?

Yes, you can use it if you prefer. Just check the label to make sure there are no extra additives or fillers. I usually whip my own at home so I know exactly what’s in it.

Can I make this dairy free?

There’s no perfect non-dairy swap, but if needed, firm tofu blended with olive oil and lemon could work as a base.

How long will it keep in the fridge?

Up to 5 days in a sealed container. Stir before serving if it separates.
