Here are all the ingredients you need to make this healthy whipped cottage cheese ball recipe. Exact measurements are listed in the recipe card below.
- Cottage cheese: Some brands sell cottage cheese whipped in a container, but I like the taste of Good Culture so much that I whip it myself.

No. They are both soft and creamy cheeses, but they are different. Cottage cheese is less sweet, has more protein, and is lower in calories. Whipped ricotta is fantastic on toast. For example, whipped ricotta toast with roasted tomatoes, or in quiches, muffins, or baked pasta for a creamy texture.
