# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • It tastes like cookie dough without the raw egg guilt trip or the calories that come with traditional versions.
  • Ready in 10 minutes with zero baking, so you can actually enjoy time with people instead of being stuck in the kitchen.
  • High protein keeps you satisfied, not just temporarily distracted by sugar.
02 -
  • Don't skimp on blending the cottage cheese—even five seconds more than feels necessary prevents that grainy texture that makes people wrinkle their noses.
  • If your dip ends up too thick, a splash of milk stirred in will bring it back; if it's too thin, a tablespoon more flour fixes it.
03 -
  • Use full-fat cottage cheese over low-fat; the richness is worth the tiny difference in nutrition and makes the dip taste less diet-conscious.
  • Chill your serving bowl for a few minutes before adding the dip—it keeps everything cool longer and feels more luxurious somehow.
