Cottage cheese is a nice and simple cheese with a mild taste, but it’s an ingredient that can add a lot to many recipes. A little sweet and a little sour, it’s the perfect base for fillings, puddings, and casseroles (as you’ll see here). And, as with most cheeses, cottage cheese is also low-carb with a good helping of fat and protein.<\/p>\n

Is Cottage Cheese Keto-Friendly?<\/h2>\n

Yes, cottage cheese is keto-friendly. A 100g serving of typical, store-bought cottage cheese should have an average of 3.4g of net carbs per 100g serving, with 2.7g of sugars. It’s also got roughly 4.3g of fat and a whopping 11g of protein. Perfect for use in a bunch of keto recipes!<\/p>\n

What can you use instead of cottage cheese?<\/h2>\n

Cottage cheese is fairly unique in it’s texture and flavour. Because it is made from whey (rather than milk) and drained but not pressed (like most cheeses), it has a very creamy flavour and almost soupy texture. So, it’s not that simple to replace it. However, the best cheeses to replace it with are ricotta and ricotta salata, and farmers cheese. these are all pressed cheeses, so they won’t have quite the same texture, but they should work just fine in most keto recipes that use cottage.<\/p>\n
