Technically you don’t need to blend the cottage cheese – it will work and the curds will melt, but it gives the crust a more gummy texture.
I use the Beast Mini Blender for blending the cottage cheese and it works so well. It gets the consistency nice and whipped and light, which I think yields a really amazing crust!
