If you want to freeze cottage cheese, then you are in luck. You can freeze cottage cheese, however, it's a very soft cheese and doesn't freeze the best. But, if you want to use cottage cheese in casseroles or other baked dishes then it can be done no problem!
First, purchase the whole fat or large curd cottage cheese as it freezes better than the low fat options. You can freeze it directly in the container. Place the container into a freezer bag to help avoid any freezer burn.
Don't forget to label your cottage cheese! You can increase your cottage cheese's life by up to 6 months!
Thaw the cottage cheese by simply placing it in the refrigerator. After it is thawed, drain excess liquid. You can stir in a little bit of sour cream if you would like to keep it from being so dry. However, if you are using it to cook with it should be fine.
So yes, you can freeze cottage cheese! It's just one of the more tricky items to freeze!
