Perhaps you’ve heard: Hope is making a comeback. Cottage cheese, too.

Way to ruin the mood, I know. But you’d be shocked at how many people are hyped about both hope and the curdled, watery, flavorless dairy product that was previously disgusting. Yes, it’s the same stuff your mother ate on top of a halved grapefruit when she was being good and feeling sad. But according to TikTok, cottage cheese can be made into brownies or, covered with chocolate chips and peanut butter, a faux Reese’s cup. It can also “give major burrata vibes.” And if you put it in a coupe, shower it with lemon zest, and photograph it in dappled light, you can call it “cute” in a caption.
