    Yes, cottage cheese is still having its moment. And if it can make recipes healthier and packed with protein, why not!? We love using cottage cheese in desserts to reduce calories and fat while increasing the protein percentage.

    And we have to say, we've been pleasantly surprised by the results. As an ingredient substitute, you may not even notice it in some recipes. Sometimes it may produce a slight tang in flavor, but it's usually rather minimal.

    Plus, cottage cheese is so versatile that it can be used in a range of recipes like sauces, baked goods, ice cream and more.

    Here are some of our favorite high-protein desserts made with cottage cheese. Most of these are easy to make, lower in calories and fat, and higher in protein. We hope you enjoy them as much as we do!
