Blending is non negotiable here. I tested this with cottage cheese straight from the tub and it is fine, but 10 seconds in the blender turns it silky, like whipped cheesecake. The peaches need just a few minutes in a hot pan to caramelize, no added sugar required.
I am always searching for the best healthy snacks and desserts and I finally stumbled on this amazing recipe. It is the same reason my boiled egg chocolate pudding exists. This one is what I make all summer when peaches are ripe and I want something sweet without turning on the oven.

Frequently Asked Questions for Peaches with Cottage Cheese
Is cottage cheese with peaches good? Yes, peaches with cottage cheese is a classic combo, and caramelizing the peaches takes it from diet food to dessert. Warm cinnamon peaches against cold maple vanilla cream is the whole point.
Do I have to blend the cottage cheese? No, but you really should. Blending for 30 seconds makes it smooth and mousse like instead of lumpy, and it completely changes the texture.
Can I use canned or frozen peaches? Yes, both work. Drain canned peaches well and pat them dry, and thaw frozen slices first so they caramelize instead of steaming.
Is this breakfast or dessert? It is both, and I fully support either. The cottage cheese makes it filling enough for breakfast, and the caramelized peaches make it feel like dessert. My mango sorbet scratches the same itch in frozen form.
How long does whipped cottage cheese keep? Up to 3 days in an airtight container in the fridge. Caramelize the peaches fresh though, they only take a few minutes.
What can I add on top? Granola, toasted nuts, honey, or fresh berries all work. A spoonful of my strawberry compote is also very good here.
