Skip ordering the same ol’ pizza on game day and make this delicious Whipped Cottage Cheese Pizza Dip! This great appetizer is such a fun and delicious way to enjoy your favorite pizza flavors but in cheesy pizza dip form that packs 20g of protein per serving.
We love the cottage cheese pizza bowls trend, especially as a single-serve recipe, but wanted to up the anty and make a larger batch pizza dip that serves a crowd (ahem, game day!), and obviously the base NEEDED to be cottage cheese. Blend that right up with parmesan and garlic, top with sausage-filled marinara, more cheese and pepperoni, and get dipping!
I’ve become known for using whipped cottage cheese for both sweet and savory recipes, and I'm a huge fan because not only is it high in protein, but it actually makes a lot of food taste better. I love it’s rich texture and mild taste and it’s the perfect high-protein addition to pretty much anything — and this pizza dip is no different!
