Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 2 cups (16 oz) cottage cheese, whole milk
- 2 Tablespoons honey
- 2 Tablespoons peanut butter
Toppings
- 3 Tablespoons chocolate chips, preferably Lily’s chocolate chips
- 3 Tablespoons granola of choice
Instructions
- Blend ingredients. Place the cottage cheese, honey, and peanut butter in a blender or food processor and blend until smooth and creamy.
- Spread mixture. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Pour the blended mixture onto the sheet and spread evenly using a spatula or spoon into a rectangular shape about ¼ of an inch thick.
- Melt chocolate and swirl. Melt the chocolate chips gently in a microwave or double boiler. Drop teaspoon-sized dollops of melted chocolate onto the cottage cheese layer and use a knife to swirl the chocolate throughout the mixture.
- Add granola and freeze. Sprinkle granola evenly over the top of the bark. Place the baking sheet in the freezer and freeze for about 3 hours until the bark is firm.
- Cut and serve. Once firm, remove from the freezer and cut or break the bark into 16 to 20 pieces. Serve immediately or store leftovers in a sealed freezer bag or airtight container for up to 3 months.
Notes
- Use whole milk cottage cheese for the best creamy texture; low-fat versions may result in a less smooth consistency.
- For a nut-free version, substitute peanut butter with sunflower seed butter.
- Swirling the chocolate while it is melted ensures a marbled effect and even flavor distribution.
- Granola can be replaced with nuts or seeds based on personal preference.
- Store the bark in the freezer and avoid thawing completely to maintain the texture.
