- 1 cup cottage cheese (preferably low-fat) - 1/2 cup natural peanut butter or almond butter - 1/4 cup maple syrup or honey Cottage cheese is the star here. It gives a creamy texture and high protein. I prefer low-fat, but any kind works. Next, we have peanut butter or almond butter. This adds a nutty flavor and healthy fats. For sweetness, you can use maple syrup or honey. Adjust the amount to your taste. - 1/2 cup oats - 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips (dark or milk as preferred) - 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon Adding oats gives the dip a nice texture and extra fiber. Mini chocolate chips bring joy to every bite. Choose dark or milk based on your taste. A hint of cinnamon adds warmth and flavor. Feel free to skip or add any extras you like. - Mixing bowls - Hand mixer or food processor - Serving bowl You will need a few tools to make this dip. A mixing bowl helps combine the ingredients easily. A hand mixer or food processor ensures everything blends smoothly. Finally, a serving bowl is a must for presenting your tasty dip. First, grab a medium mixing bowl. Add 1 cup of cottage cheese and 1/2 cup of peanut butter. You can use almond butter if you prefer. Next, pour in 1/4 cup of maple syrup or honey for sweetness. Add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract for great flavor. Mix these ingredients well until they form a creamy base. Now, it's time to blend! Use a hand mixer or a food processor to mix the ingredients. Blend until the mixture is smooth and fluffy. Make sure to scrape the sides of the bowl. This helps to mix everything evenly. You want a nice, creamy texture for your dip. After blending, it's time to add more fun! Stir in 1/2 cup of oats and 1/4 cup of mini chocolate chips. You can choose dark or milk chocolate chips based on your taste. Add 1/4 teaspoon of cinnamon for warmth, and a pinch of salt to balance the sweetness. Mix these ingredients well so they are spread throughout the dip. Once mixed, transfer the dip into a serving bowl. Refrigerate the dip for at least 30 minutes. Chilling lets the flavors blend nicely and thickens the dip. When you're ready to serve, enjoy it with fresh fruit like apple slices or strawberries. You can also use graham crackers or pretzels for dipping. To make this dip fit your taste, adjust the sweetness. Start with 1/4 cup of maple syrup or honey. Mix, taste, and add more if you like it sweeter. You can also try different nut butters. Almond butter gives a nutty twist, while peanut butter adds a classic flavor. Make your dip look fancy. Garnish it with extra oats or mini chocolate chips on top. You can use colorful fruit like strawberries or apple slices around the bowl. Arrange graham crackers or pretzels nearby for a fun serving style. This makes your dip more inviting and tasty. If you have leftovers, store them right. Cover the dip with plastic wrap or transfer it to an airtight container. This keeps it fresh for up to three days in the fridge. Before serving again, mix it well to restore its creamy texture. Enjoy your dip with fresh dippers for a quick snack! {{image_2}} You can switch up your nut butter. Almond butter gives a nutty taste. It is great for those who want a different flavor. Peanut butter is classic and creamy. It adds a rich and sweet touch. Try both to see which one you like best. Mix and match for fun! If you want a sugar-free dip, try using stevia. It is a natural sweetener that works well. You can also use agave syrup for a milder taste. Honey is a good choice too. Each sweetener changes the flavor a bit. Experiment to find the right balance for you. Want to boost the protein? Add a scoop of protein powder. It helps make the dip even healthier. If you love chocolate, try cocoa powder. Mixing it in creates a rich chocolate version. Both options will give your dip a new twist. Enjoy playing with flavors! To keep your high-protein cottage cheese cookie dough dip fresh, store it in the fridge. Use a clean, airtight container. This helps keep out air and moisture. I recommend glass or plastic containers with tight lids. They work best to keep the dip creamy and tasty. When stored properly, this dip lasts about 3 to 5 days in the fridge. After that, its flavor and texture can change. Always check for any signs of spoilage before you dive in. Can you freeze it? Yes, you can! Freezing is a great option if you want to save some for later. To freeze, place the dip in a freezer-safe container. Leave some space at the top, as it may expand when frozen. When you're ready to enjoy it again, thaw it in the fridge overnight. Stir it well before serving to revive its creamy texture. Yes, you can make this dip vegan with a few simple swaps. For the cottage cheese, use a vegan alternative like tofu or a store-bought vegan cheese. Replace the peanut butter with almond butter, and use maple syrup as your sweetener. This way, you can enjoy a creamy and delicious dip without any animal products. Making this dip is quick. It takes about 10 minutes to prepare.

This dip pairs well with many fun dippers.
