Keto Whipped Cottage Cheese with Peanut Butter | high protein too (1)

I recently learned about whipped cottage cheese on a Instagram real and have become hooked on the creamy thick texture. Today I made this keto whipped cottage cheese with peanut butter because it’s one of my favorite flavors of anything sweet.

I even went the extra step and added some crushed berry puree to give it a peanut butter and jelly flavor and OMG it was delicious. But even on it’s on this peanut butter whipped cottage cheese is absolutely delicious.

Its thick and creamy texture along with the sweetness is much like a peanut butter cheesecake bowl or mousse. I use a few specific brands to keep the card down as much as possible but you can use whatever brands you want.

Also you can use your favorite toppings like mini chocolate chips or the berry topping I used for a PB&J flavor. Either way you are going to love this one!

Two more whipped cottage cheese flavors to try!

I have to other delicious flavors of whipped cottage cheese (so far) to try if you like this kind of things. One is a healthy berry flavored and another is a keto chocolate flavored. Below you can see what they look like. Both are an easy low carb and high protein snack!

Recipe ingredients I used.

The 4 simple ingredients for this recipe are – Good Culture plain cottage cheese, Good Good peanut butter, SweetLeaf Vanilla stevia drops and Bocha Sweet sweetener.

I really like this Good Culture cottage cheese and have been able to find it at Target and my local grocery store. I like it because it has just 3g net carb per ½ cup. Another brand I like it Daisy and it has 4g net carbs per ½ cup.

If you are on a low carb diet, try to use a high fat cottage cheese as they tend to have less carbs and are more creamy in texture my opinion. If you don’t care about carbs you can use your favorite brand whether it’s low fat cottage cheese or not.

The Bocha Sweet sweetener is a new keto sweetener for me and really like it. I doesn’t seem to have much of an aftertaste and it’s made from kabocha pumpkin! You can use favorite sweetener of choice.

I also used my SweetLeaf vanilla stevia drops because I like the combination of stevia with other granular sweetener and the vanilla flavor takes the place of vanilla extract. If you don’t have any you can just add another tablespoon of sweetener.

Lastly I bought this Good Good peanut butterand found it to be very low in carbs. It has just 1g net carbs per tablespoon. You can use a natural peanut butter too. Just check the nutritional information and make sure there is no added sugar. You could also try peanut butter powder if you have any.

How to make peanut butter whipped cottage cheese.

Step 1: Spoon the cottage cheese into a food processor bowl and pulse or blend until smooth and creamy.

You can also use a high speed blender to do this but I find they are harder to clean out than the food processor. I love this mini food processor for smaller keto recipes like this.

To make peanut butter and jelly whipped cottage cheese.

There are few options to add a jelly flavor to this peanut butter snack. One is to use sugar free jams or jellies. I find they are not all that wonderful in my opinion but if you like them, just drop a dollop on top.

Instead I went the way of making my own fruit topping. I added some frozen berries to the food processor along with some sweetener and processed until it looked like the sauce below.

You could also add the berries to a sauce pan with a tablespoon or two of water and let them cook down along with the sweetener. This takes more time but I’ve use this in many keto recipes.

I used ½ cup of frozen berries and 1 tablespoon of sweetener.

You can also try some sugar free fruit syrups like Torani’s sugar free raspberry or strawberry syrups. There are other brands like this and few that make pancake syrup in fruit flavors.

But for today I kept it simple and spooned some of the simple berry sauce on top.
