Basil and Honey Whipped Cottage Cheese with Summer Fruit
We’re breathing some new life into a classic combo with this recipe, and shaking things up a bit. Protein-rich cottage cheese is whipped with herbal basil and sweet honey into a fluffy cloud of pure deliciousness. This makes the perfect bed for a heap of sliced fresh stone fruits and, if you’re feeling extra adventuresome, a splash of hot sauce and shower of crunchy chopped nuts.

Ingredients
- 16 ounces full fat cottage cheese
- 2 tablespoons honey, and more to taste if you like
- 1/2 cup loosely packed fresh basil leaves, or to taste
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Instructions
In a food processor, combine the cottage cheese, honey, and basil and process until smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste and add more basil and honey if you see fit. Spread onto a platter. Pile the fruit on top and sprinkle with hot sauce (only if using) and the chopped nuts. Enjoy!
