Ingredients
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- 2 tablespoons hot honey
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Place the cottage cheese in a food processor or high-powered blender. Ensure the cottage cheese is at refrigerator temperature for the best texture.
- Add hot honey, olive oil, and garlic powder to the cottage cheese. The hot honey will provide a spicy-sweet kick to the dip.
- Blend the mixture on high speed for 2-3 minutes, scraping down the sides occasionally, until the cottage cheese becomes smooth and creamy with no visible curds.
- Taste the mixture and season with salt and pepper according to your preference. Mix briefly to incorporate the seasonings evenly.
- Transfer the whipped cottage cheese dip to a serving bowl. Use a spatula to create smooth swirls on the surface for an attractive presentation.
- For best flavor, refrigerate the dip for 15-30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
- Serve chilled with fresh vegetable sticks, crackers, pita chips, or as a spread on toast.
- Store any leftover dip in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.
Tips
- Temperature Matters: Use cottage cheese straight from the refrigerator for the smoothest, creamiest texture possible.
- Blending Technique: Don't rush the blending process. Take your time to scrape down the sides and ensure a completely smooth consistency with no visible curds.
- Honey Heat Level: Adjust the hot honey quantity based on your spice tolerance. Start with less and add more if you want extra kick.
- Serving Suggestions: For the most Instagram-worthy presentation, use a spatula to create elegant swirls on top of the dip.
- Make-Ahead Magic: This dip actually gets better after 15-30 minutes in the refrigerator, allowing the flavors to meld and intensify.
- Customization is Key: Feel free to experiment with additional herbs like chives or dill for extra flavor complexity.
- Storage Tip: Always keep the dip in an airtight container to maintain its fresh taste and prevent absorption of other refrigerator odors.
