Why Cottage Cheese?
Cottage cheese has made a comeback thanks to its creamy texture and impressive protein content. It’s the perfect base for this bark, giving it a cheesecake-like vibe while keeping things light and nutritious. Blending it smooth allows for a dreamy texture that freezes beautifully.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup cottage cheese (full-fat or low-fat)
- 1–2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (adjust to taste)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup mixed berries (blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, etc.)
- 2 tablespoons granola or crushed nuts for crunch
- Optional: dark chocolate chips, chia seeds, or shredded coconut
Instructions:
- Blend the Base
In a blender or food processor, combine the cottage cheese, sweetener, and vanilla extract. Blend until smooth and creamy. - Spread the Mixture
Line a baking tray with parchment paper and pour the mixture onto it. Use a spatula to spread it evenly into a thin layer, about ¼ inch thick. - Top It Off
Sprinkle your berries evenly over the cottage cheese base. Add granola, nuts, or any other toppings you love. - Freeze
Place the tray in the freezer for at least 3–4 hours or until completely firm. - Break and Serve
Once frozen, break the bark into pieces and enjoy immediately. Store extras in an airtight container in the freezer.
This frozen bark is endlessly versatile and ideal for meal prep. You can switch up the toppings, adjust sweetness, or even make it dairy-free using plant-based cottage cheese. Refreshing, crunchy, and full of flavor—this is the bark everyone will be talking about this summer!
