Italian Whipped Cottage Cheese Dip

Some mornings, you just need something savory, cozy, and fast. This Italian Whipped Cottage Cheese Dip is soft, creamy, and packed with herby flavor. A little bite of comfort that turns any low carb dish into a real meal. With just 1.9g net carbs and 5.9g of protein per serving, it makes boring breakfasts feel satisfying again.

It works beautifully as a dip, a spread, or even a creamy sauce. But I mostly use it as a quick herby dip with keto bread or fresh veggies.

I first made this to pair with my Tomato Basil Olive Cottage Cheese Bread for a high-protein breakfast meal. Now it’s my go-to cottage cheese dip or spread when I want something flavorful without extra work. It makes a perfect appetizer or high-protein snack. No stove, no fuss, just a swirl of creamy, savory goodness that keeps your macros in check. 

These Italian Whipped Cottage Cheese Dip Servings Are

• Smooth and creamy consistency with no lumps or chalkiness
• Quick to prep – ready in under 5 minutes
• High protein, sugar free, and keto friendly
• Lightly herbed with dried basil and oregano
• Perfect as a dip, spread, or savory breakfast topper
• Cozy, flavorful, and easy to keep in your fridge all week

Instructions

1. Add the cottage cheese to a small food processor or bowl. If using an immersion blender, make sure the container is deep enough to avoid splatter.
2. Blend until the mixture looks smooth, soft, and creamy – no visible curds or lumps should remain.
3. Sprinkle in the dried basil and oregano. Stir gently with a spoon or spatula until the herbs are evenly mixed through.
4. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
5. Serve right away, or cover and chill in the fridge for 1 hour to let the flavors blend and the dip thicken slightly.

Testing Notes

I tested this both with an immersion blender and a mini food processor. The food processor gives a slightly fluffier texture, but both work beautifully. Do not skip the full-fat cottage cheese, low-fat just turns watery.

Taste and add salt if needed, especially if your cottage cheese is already lightly salted. You can also fold in a few chopped fresh herbs like parsley or dill for extra flavor.

Ingredient Swaps

• You can use Italian seasoning if you do not have basil and oregano separately.
• Add a pinch of garlic powder or black pepper for a bolder, savory flavor.
• You can swap the cottage cheese with cream cheese, plain Greek yogurt, or a splash of heavy cream. But each swap will change the flavor and texture. Cream cheese makes it thicker and tangier, yogurt adds brightness, and heavy cream keeps it soft but less structured.
• For dairy-free readers: This recipe relies on the creamy texture of dairy, so there is no tested non-dairy version yet.
• A small splash of lemon juice can brighten the flavor if you want a more tangy, fresh finish.

Storage Tips

• Store any leftover whipped cottage cheese dip in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
• Stir before serving if water separates.
• Not freezer friendly – texture changes when thawed.

Make It a Moment

I love this paired with my Keto Tomato Basil Olive Cottage Cheese Bread for a simple, satisfying breakfast that feels like a real meal. Add a few cherry tomatoes or sliced cucumbers, and you’ve got a cozy, balanced plate in under 10 minutes.

Conclusion

This herby whipped cottage cheese is proof that keto can be both simple and flavorful. No stress, no eggs, no cooking, just pure, protein-packed goodness. I’ve been keto since 2019, and this is one of those recipes that truly makes the lifestyle feel doable (and delicious).

FAQ

Can I use low-fat cottage cheese?

You can, but I do not recommend it. It will be thinner, and you’ll lose the creamy mouthfeel that makes this recipe comforting.

Is this good for meal prep?

Yes! Make a batch of this high-protein dip ahead and store it in the fridge. It holds up for 2–3 days and makes a great grab-and-go topping or dip.

What can I serve this with?

Use it as a dip with fresh-cut vegetables like cucumber, bell pepper, or carrots. It also works as a savory spread for toast, a creamy base for lettuce wraps, or a topping for grilled chicken. One of my favorite ways to enjoy it is scooped with flax crackers or tucked into a low carb sandwich.
