My Creamy Bacon Cottage Cheese Dip will not disappoint. It is rich in flavor despite being low in fat and low in carbs. Serve with some cut veggies for a guilt-free appetizer or side dish.
Bacon Cottage Cheese Dip – Low Carb, Low Fat, THM FP
This recipe was a bit of an accident. I was working on a zucchini dish and this was the sauce. But I couldn’t stop licking the spoon. And then I was thinking how good it would be as a vegetable dip so I took out some veggies. And I was right. It is the best low fat, low carb dip I have ever tried.
One thing I did not do, and will not do, is tell my kids the secret ingredient in this is cottage cheese. I can just see their eyes bulging in my mind. This can be our little secret. Shh!
If you are doing keto and want to increase the fat in this feel free to use 4% milk fat cottage cheese and half and half instead of the almond milk. You can also top this Bacon Cottage Cheese Dip with extra bacon crumbles. I did enjoy the subtle swiss flavor of the cheese wedges.

I may have missed it but if I use 4% fat cottage cheese and half and half for this recipe how many net carbs are in 2tbsp?
Taryn says
I don’t have that information. You can input the recipe here to find out: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/recipe_parser My guess is 1 or 2 carbs. All the ingredients are low carb.
Lauren says
If we don’t have any almond milk or any other kind of milk, is there something else I can use? I can’t wait to make this recipe!
Taryn says
You just need a little liquid to thin it. Chicken broth or even water should work.
Lynette says
I want to make this with bleu cheese crumbles , beef bacon, and use it for a salad dressing!
Can’t wait for dinner😋
Taryn says
Great idea! I make my own blue cheese dressing a lot 🙂
Kim Wiens says
I’m going to make this but you mentioned stumbling across this sauce for a zucchini recipe. Would you share that recipe also?
Taryn says
Hi Kim, it’s this one: https://joyfilledeats.com/bacon-swiss-zucchini-bake/
Vanessa says
Thanks for sharing! Does it keep long?
Stephen says
Do you serve warm or cold?
Taryn says
I served this cold. If you try it warm let me know how it is 🙂
Lyda says
Very tasty!! I added cracked pepper, Swiss, Gruyere, and mozzarella, and diced up a fresh jalapeño!! Muy delicioso!!,,
Nikki Stone (Business) says
I agree with Amanda!
This is AH-MAZING!!! I struggle with late night snacking & while I don’t mind veggies, I don’t love snacking on them, either!!! I have a feeling this will change all that!! My favorite dip of all time is Helluva Good bacon horseradish, & this is sooo close!!! I might add a dash of horseradish next time to see if I can’t get it spot on!
Thank you, thank you!

So 2 TBSP is a serving?
Taryn says
Yes
Wanda says
I live in a very rural area and Laughing Cow cheese wedges are not available. Is there anything I can substitute for it?
Jennifer says
I just want to clarify the “bacon crumbles.” Do you mean honest-to-goodness real bacon? or the imitation bac-o-bits? If you mean real bacon, should we cook it extra crispy? In the microwave? Pat dry? Or buy the pre-cooked crumbles in a bag? ???
Taryn says
I use the pre-cooked bacon in a bag. The real stuff not bac-o-bits. If you would rather fry up some bacon you can. Just cook until crispy.
Amanda says
I’m pretty effusive by nature, so I throw around phrases like “best ever” and “absolute heaven” at least weekly. But NEVER have I had to stop and try to come up with a phrase to describe delicious the way I have with this recipe. I HATE VEGETABLES. (Without dip.) I ALSO HATE COTTAGE CHEESE. And you have just made a way for me to put my two most hated things together for a legitimate TREAT. (Sorry for all the caps. I’m feeling pretty strongly about your dip.) Thank you, from a kicking and screaming not yet trim, but tryna be healthy, Mama.
