All aboard the cottage cheese train! It’s no secret cottage cheese is trending, and I honestly never understood why until I finally decided to hop on the trend. I started with my cottage cheese cookie dough, then gave 3-ingredient cottage cheese pizza crust a try (*spoiler alert* it’s amazing!), and now here we are – my first every cottage cheese dip. And because I’m all about easy recipes, this cottage cheese buffalo dip is made with just 3 ingredients. I whipped it (literally) together in a food processor in just a few minutes for a high-protein appetizer or snack that’s perfect for game day or really… any day!

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I heat this dip?
Yes! You can warm it gently on the stove or in the microwave. Just stir occasionally so it stays smooth and creamy. You can even sprinkle it with shredded cheese before baking for extra cheesy goodness!
What can I use instead of cottage cheese?
Greek yogurt works as a substitute, though it won’t be quite as thick or creamy. Cream cheese can also be used, but it will reduce the protein content.
Can I add chicken to it?
Absolutely! For a more classic buffalo chicken dip vibe, stir in shredded cooked chicken before serving (or after blending).
Sam’s Recipe Tips
- Use full-fat cottage cheese for the creamiest texture.
- If you like extra heat, stir in a pinch of cayenne or crushed red pepper flakes.
- For added flavor, top with chopped chives or a sprinkle of blue cheese crumbles.
