Sure, ice cream made with cottage cheese isn’t exactly like digging into a pint of mint chocolate chip, but it is a decidedly healthier alternative to the popular frozen dessert. To make cottage cheese ice cream, simply blend cottage cheese with some of your favorite mix-ins until it boasts an ice cream-like consistency. Then, you can top it with some of your go-to’s, such as chocolate chips or cookie crumbles. For example, in the TikTok above, user @feelgoodfoodie blends cottage cheese with frozen strawberries and honey to sweeten the final product. She then tops the mixture with strawberry slices and graham crackers, for even more texture and flavor.

TikTok user @thetastefuldiet took a slightly different approach and flavored her ice cream with almond butter and honey. She then mixed in chopped dates, cinnamon, and dark chocolate chips. Lastly, TikToker @erekasfood opted for a banana cream version by blending cottage cheese with banana slices, maple syrup, and vanilla, and mixing in cookies and even more banana slices.

04 Cottage Cheese Cheesecake

Cheesecake is typically made with ingredients such as cream cheese and/or sour cream, but as TikTok has shown us, the classic American dessert can also be made with cottage cheese. In fact, in the TikTok above, user @lilsipper_official proves you only need three ingredients to whip up a healthier version of the beloved sweet treat. To make cottage cheese cheesecake, all you need to do is blend cottage cheese, an egg, and protein powder, and bake.

For a version that’s a bit more like the real deal, take some tips from TikTok user @theproteinchef. He builds on the previous three-ingredient recipe by adding vanilla extract, a little sugar, and Greek yogurt to the mix, and also makes a delicious crust using graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. To flavor your cheesecake, consider adding cocoa powder or canned pumpkin to the cheesecake batter.

For a pasta sauce that’s elevated yet still easy to make, reach for the cottage cheese. The popular ingredient works in any sauce where you might use cream or a similar ingredient.

06 Cottage Cheese Toast

Everything is better on toast, and that’s especially true of cottage cheese.

Or, you can follow TikTok user @laurensbalancedbites’ lead and top the toast with fresh tomatoes, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper.

07 Cottage Cheese Banana Bread

Instead of turning to protein powder to get healthier banana bread, TikTok user @fitfoodiefinds says reach for the cottage cheese instead. Not only does this add protein, but it will help keep the banana bread, but she says it will be “extra fluffy, extra moist, and so yummy.” TikTok user @healthyfoodiegirls explains cottage cheese banana bread is super unique because even though it doesn’t include any oil or butter, the banana bread is moist as though it did.
