Cottage cheese is a fresh cheese made by draining curdled milk, leaving soft curds suspended in a little whey. One metric cup (250 ml) weighs around 234 grams or 8.25 ounces. It works as a high-protein topping, blends into smooth dips and pancakes, and fills lasagne or stuffed shells.

Cottage cheese tubs are sold by weight, but recipes ask for cups or tablespoons. The mix of curds and whey settles unevenly in a measuring cup, so weighing in grams gives a more reliable measure.

Also known as

  • curd cheese
  • small-curd cottage cheese
  • low-fat cottage cheese

Ricotta is finer, sweeter, and denser than cottage cheese (258 g vs 234 g per cup), with smaller curds and less liquid. Swap 1:1 in savoury bakes; for desserts or fillings, drain or blend cottage cheese first to match ricotta's smoother body. See our Ricotta converter.

Cream cheese is dense, smooth, and tangy where cottage cheese is loose and curdy (230 g vs 234 g per cup). Blending cottage cheese until smooth lets it stand in for cream cheese in dips and cheesecake batters, with a lighter, less rich result. See our Cream Cheese converter.

Paneer is the pressed, firm cousin of cottage cheese at a similar weight (226 g vs 234 g per cup). Drain and press cottage cheese to approach paneer's texture for frying. See our Paneer converter.
