Pumpkin Cheesecake Cottage Cheese Whip: A Fall Classic, Reimagined

If you’re in the mood for pumpkin cheesecake and you don’t feel like baking, try this pumpkin cheesecake cottage cheese whip. 

This simple recipe has two main ingredients: cottage cheese and pumpkin. We know and love the protein powerhouse that is cottage cheese.The canned pumpkin is high in vitamins, potassium, and fiber (1). So this dessert is just as packed with nutrition as it is with flavor. 

Just make sure not to mix canned pumpkin with pumpkin pie filling. Pumpkin pie filling, also sold in an orange-labeled can, is loaded with added sugar. Canned pumpkin is just plain pumpkin puree. 

This easy dessert is perfect for low-effort spooky movie nights or anytime you want a dessert that’s not overly sweet. Blend until smooth and creamy, add the toppings of your dreams. We like an extra sprinkle of pumpkin spice, toasted pecans nuts, or maybe a little whipped cream. Voila: you have the ultimate fall cheesecake, made solely from items you probably already have in your pantry.
