When I first saw people whipping cottage cheese I fell in love with the colors and then I made it myself and was hooked. This berry whipped cream is now one of my favorite snacks and I even eat it as dessert some days.

I found this great low carb cottage cheese brand and I used sweetener so this recipe is lower in carbs but it’s also low calorie and high in protein. But I love it because it’s rich, creamy and sweet and I can add crunchy add ins if I’m in the mood.

To me the blended cottage cheese is like a thicker, creamy smoothie bowl but doesn’t have that sour taste that you get when you use Greek yogurt. Without the flavoring it doesn’t have much taste but it has great texture and that is the beauty of whipped cottage cheese. You can flavor it anyway you want and it takes minutes to make!

The 4 main recipe ingredients I used.

All you need to make this recipe is 4 simple ingredients – cottage cheese, Swerve brown sugar sweetener, SweetLeaf berry stevia drops and frozen berries.

As for sweetener I used Swerve brown sweetener because it’s my favorite. I also used some berry stevia drops for more sweetness. If you are watching carbs you can use your favorite sweetener and just as much as you like.

If not you are not watching carbs use sugar, honey, maple syrup, coconut sugar or brown sugar.

Lastly I used frozen berry blend because I wanted it to be as thick as possible and cold as well. But you could also use fresh berries. Berries are a low carb fruit and create a beautiful color.

A note about the cottage cheese I used.

I used Good Culture low fat cottage cheese because it has the lowest carbs of any other kind I have found. It has just 3g net carbs per ½ cup. Daisy is the second lowest brand with 4g net carbs per ½ cup. If you don’t care about carbs use whatever you want.

However I also loved it because:

• it has simple ingredients – no preservatives, gums, or artificial anything
• it has live and active cultures so it’s good for gut health
• the texture is thick, smooth and creamy – especially when whipped
• it’s low in carbs, high in protein and low in calories

How to make berry whipped cottage cheese bowls.

Note that I used this mini food processor which is perfect for small batch recipes like this. I’ve had it for more than 15 years and use almost daily. It’s especially good for whipped cottage cheese recipes.

Step 1: Spoon the cottage cheese into a high speed blender or food processor. Since we are use frozen berries, the blender does a better job of crushing them but you could use the food processor too. Turn on high until well blended and smooth and creamy.

Step 2: Next add the berries and sweetener. Blend on high until the berries are well blended. Take a taste and see if you want more sweetness or not. Adjust accordingly.

Step 3: Spoon mixture into a bowl and serve. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Please scroll down to view the printable recipe card.

I also made some crunchy topping with chopped pecans and unsweetened coconut. You just add a bit of each to a dry pan at medium heat.

Stir as the mixture starts to toast and get golden brown. Then take it off the heat and pour onto a plate or piece of paper towel so it stops toasting.

Low carb and healthy toppings for your whipped cottage cheese bowls.

There are a lot of things you can add to this bowl just like a smoothie bowl. I used some of the frozen berries I had leftover and a mixture of toasted pecans and coconut flakes. Below are the carb counts for some healthy toppings to try.
