  • Endlessly customizable: Swap toppings, adjust sweetness, or go dairy-free — this bark adapts beautifully to your preferences.
  • Make-ahead magic: Prepare a batch, store it in the freezer, and enjoy pieces whenever a snack craving strikes.
02 -
  • Blend the cottage cheese: For the smoothest, creamiest bark, blitz the cottage cheese in a blender or food processor before adding it to the bowl.
  • Use mini chocolate chips: Mini chips distribute more evenly throughout the bark than standard-sized chips.
  • Press toppings in: When adding the final scatter of chocolate chips and nuts, press them gently into the surface so they adhere once frozen.
  • Freeze until fully firm: A full 2 hours (or overnight) guarantees clean breaks and the best texture.
  • Store properly: Keep bark pieces in an airtight container in the freezer, separated by layers of parchment paper, for up to 2 weeks.
  • Serve straight from frozen: This bark softens quickly at room temperature, so serve it immediately.
