One of my favorite food groups is dip. Yes, dip is a food group on my food chart. So any chance I can get to make food involving dip, I’ll take it. And this whipped cottage cheese chili crisp dip is delicious! And the best part, a protein filled snack!

I saw some versions of this floating around the internet and because I’ve been working hard to get more protein in, and I love dip, I knew I had to try it. I only recently started eating cottage cheese. I never liked it before Caitlin introduced me to a brand that I actually thought tasted good and didn’t mind the texture of! (Friendship California Style Cottage Cheese).

I also love whipped feta, it’s so incredible, and so much better than just regular feta. So I definitely couldn’t resist trying whipped cottage cheese. I love how smooth and creamy it can get. And then topping it with some chili crisp (or chili crunch) gives it a nice little kick.

And you don’t even have to feel guilty indulging in this dip. It’s a protein filled snack that goes perfect with cut up vegetables. (Crackers, bagel chips, & veggie chips are all delicious with it too, of course!). It’s also incredibly easy to make this whipped cottage cheese chili crisp dip. With just a few ingredients, and a couple minutes, you’re ready to dig in!
