p2 Cream base

Create a cream base for use in creamy p2 recipes. Empty the contents of a whole container of cottage cheese into the food processor and process until very smooth. If you know you will be using it for recipes requiring a thicker cream paste (like p2 cheesecake for instance), strain the curds first. Transfer the processed cream base back into the container and store in refrigerator until needed. This has many applications. It can be used to make sweet things, like a crepe filling or cheesecake, or savory items like faux alfredo sauce or fish taco sauce (recipes to follow). It's important to note that this counts as a protein, so always measure out the cream base in grams on your food scale and reduce your meat portions by that many grams.
