Ingredients
FOR COOKIE DOUGH LAYER
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- 2 tbsp sugar-free maple syrup
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ¾ cup almond flour
- 1 ½ scoops vanilla protein powder 30g per scoop
- 3 tbsp dark chocolate chips
FOR CHOCOLATE LAYER
- ½ cup dark chocolate chips
- 1 tsp coconut oil
Instructions
- In a blender add the cottage cheese, maple syrup and vanilla extract. Blend until smooth.
- Add the cottage cheese mixture to a medium size bowl. Then add the almond flour and protein powder. Mix until combined. Then fold in chocolate chips.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spread the cookie dough mixture evenly onto the sheet, pressing it down to form a thin layer.
- Place the baking sheet in the freezer for about 30 minutes, or until the cookie dough bark is firm and set.
- While setting, melted the 1/2 cup chocolate chips and coconut oil in a small microwave-safe bowl.
- Once set, remove the bark from the freezer and pour the chocolate overtop evenly. Add back to freezer for 10 minutes or until set.
- Remove from freezer and cut into pieces of your desired size using a sharp knife or your hands.
- Serve immediately for a deliciously chilled treat, or store any leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer for later enjoyment.
