Frequently asked questions
How can I store my homemade cheese spread to keep it fresh?
Store your homemade cheese spread in an airtight container in the fridge. It will stay fresh for up to 5 days. For longer storage, consider freezing it in small portions, then defrosting it overnight in the fridge before use.
Can I customize this recipe for dietary preferences, like vegan or lactose-free?
Absolutely! To make a vegan cheese spread, swap out the cottage cheese and Greek yogurt for plant-based alternatives like cashew cheese or almond yogurt. You can also use dairy-free cheese options available in stores. Just be sure to check the labels for protein content if you’re aiming for a high-protein, low-fat version.
What can I do if the spread is too runny or thick?
If your cheese spread is too runny, try adding a little more cottage cheese or Greek yogurt to thicken it up. On the other hand, if it’s too thick, simply stir in a tablespoon of water or more olive oil until you reach your desired consistency.
