Description
If you are unfamiliar with the concept of dessert bark, it usually refers to a thin sheet of chocolate or yogurt that is topped with nuts and fruit, frozen, and then broken into jagged, rustic pieces. The Frozen Cottage Cheese Bark takes this concept and upgrades the nutritional profile. By blending cottage cheese until it is silky smooth, sweetening it naturally, and freezing it into a thin layer, you create a protein rich canvas for all your favorite toppings.
