Ingredients

For the Cookie Dough Layer:

1 cup cottage cheese

2 tbsp maple syrup

1 tsp vanilla extract

1/2 tsp almond extract

3/4 cup almond flour (heat treated)

1 1/2 scoops vanilla protein powder (approx. 45g)

3 tbsp white chocolate chips

2 tbsp rainbow sprinkles

For the White Chocolate Layer:

1/2 cup white chocolate chips

1 tsp coconut oil

Instructions

  1. Make the Cookie Dough Layer:
    1. In a blender, add cottage cheese, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and almond extract. Blend until smooth.
    2. Heat treat the almond flour by spreading it on a baking sheet and baking at 300°F (150°C) for 10 minutes.
    3. Combine the cottage cheese mixture, heat-treated almond flour, and vanilla protein powder in a medium-sized bowl. Stir until well combined.
    4. Gently fold in white chocolate chips and rainbow sprinkles, making sure they are evenly distributed.
    5. 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.
    6. Freeze for 30 minutes until firm and set.
  2. Make the White Chocolate Layer:
    1. In a small microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate chips and coconut oil in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth and fully melted.
    2. Once the cookie dough layer is set, remove it from the freezer and pour the melted white chocolate evenly over the top.
    3. Top with more rainbow sprinkles if desired.
    4. Freeze again for 10 minutes or until the white chocolate layer is fully set.
  3. Assemble and Serve:
    1. Once the bark is set, remove it from the freezer and cut it into pieces of your desired size.
    2. Enjoy immediately or store any leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer for later enjoyment.

Notes

  • For a fun twist, try using chocolate or birthday cake-flavored protein powder instead of vanilla.
  • Feel free to add nuts, seeds, or dried fruit to the cookie dough for extra texture and flavor.
  • For a vegan version, use dairy-free cottage cheese and plant-based protein powder.
