Related to Cottage Cheese

Ricotta

The closest swap for lasagne, stuffed shells, and baked fillings. Ricotta is finer, sweeter, and denser (258 g vs 234 g per cup) with smaller curds and less liquid, so the result is smoother and a touch richer. Blend cottage cheese first if you want ricotta's even body. See our Ricotta converter.

Greek Yoghurt

A smooth, high-protein swap for dips, pancakes, and dressings. Greek yoghurt (260 g/cup) is tangier and creamier with no curds, so blend it straight in where you want a uniform texture. In hot dishes add it off the heat to stop it splitting. See our Greek Yoghurt converter.

Cream Cheese

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 cream cheese in ounces.

Paneer

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 paneer in ounces.
