- 3 tablespoons hot sauce (such as Frank’s RedHot), plus more to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Measure out 16 ounces of cottage cheese, 3 tablespoons of hot sauce, and 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder to ensure accurate blending and balanced flavors.
- Blend Ingredients: Place the cottage cheese, hot sauce, and garlic powder into a food processor or blender. Blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy, with no lumps remaining. This should take about 1-2 minutes depending on your appliance.

- For a thicker dip, strain excess liquid from the cottage cheese using a cheesecloth or fine mesh sieve before blending.
- Adjust garlic powder amount according to your taste.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Ideal for a quick, protein-rich snack or party appetizer.
