Chocolate peanut butter frozen cottage cheese bark is a creamy, chocolatey treat made with blended cottage cheese, powdered peanut butter, honey, and milk. The mixture freezes into a firm, smooth slab that’s finished with melted dark chocolate and crunchy crushed peanuts. It’s easy to portion and easy to store, but self-control is sold separately.

Instructions

In a blender or with an immersion blender, blend together the cottage cheese, powdered peanut butter, milk, and honey.
1½ cups cottage cheese, 8 tablespoons powdered peanut butter, 2 tablespoons milk, 1.5 tablespoons honey
Pour the mixture onto a 9×13" baking tray lined with parchment paper, spread it in a smooth rectangle shape, and place it flat in the freezer while you melt the chocolate.
Melt the dark in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals until it is runny and liquidy.
2.5 ounces dark chocolate
Remove the bark from the freezer and dip a fork or spoon into the melted chocolate. Drizzle the chocolate all over the bark in zig zag lines.
Drizzle the honey and scatter roasted peanuts over the bark.
0.5 tablespoons honey, 3 tablespoons roasted peanuts
Place it back in the freezer for 2 hours, or until the bark is completely frozen.
Use a sharp knift to cut it into squares or break it up with your hands. Enjoy!

Notes

Blend thoroughly: Take the extra minute to fully blend the cottage cheese. Any remaining curds will show up once frozen.
Even layer: Spreading the mixture into an even thickness helps the bark freeze uniformly and makes portioning easier later.
Chocolate drizzle: Let the base firm slightly before drizzling so the chocolate stays defined instead of blending in.
Sweetness level: This is lightly sweet by design. Taste the mixture before freezing and adjust the honey if needed.
Clean cuts: For neat squares, let the bark sit at room temperature for a minute, then cut with a sharp knife.
Breakable bark: Prefer a more rustic look? Skip the knife and snap it into pieces by hand once fully frozen.

STORAGE INSTRUCTIONS

Freezer container: Store the bark in an airtight, freezer-safe container or zip-top bag to prevent freezer burn.
Layering: If stacking pieces, place parchment paper between layers so they don’t stick together.
Shelf life: Keeps well in the freezer for up to 2 weeks without losing texture or flavor.
Serving: Eat straight from the freezer, or let it sit out for a minute if you prefer a slightly softer bite.
