Recipe FAQs
Absolutely! Feel free to experiment with your favorite berries such as strawberries, raspberries, or blackberries for a unique twist on this frozen treat.
Store the bark in an airtight container in the freezer. It will keep well for up to two weeks. Simply take it out a few minutes before serving to soften slightly.
The freezing time can vary depending on your freezer temperature and the thickness of the bark. Generally, it's best to freeze the bark for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, until it is completely solid.
Adding a small amount of xanthan gum (around ¼ tsp) when you blend the cottage cheese mixture can help reduce iciness in the finished bark.
