Instructions

Add the cottage cheese, maple syrup or honey, and vanilla extract to a high-powered blender or food processor.
Blend for 60 to 90 seconds until completely smooth and creamy.
Taste and adjust the sweetness if needed.
Line a large baking sheet or baking pan with parchment paper.
Pour the blended cottage cheese mixture onto the center of the parchment.
Spread into an even layer about 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick.
Scatter the blueberries and sliced strawberries evenly over the surface.
Gently press the fruit into the mixture.

Freeze for 2 to 3 hours until completely firm.
Lift the frozen sheet from the pan using the parchment paper.
Break into rustic bark pieces and serve immediately.

Notes

Blend the cottage cheese until completely smooth for the creamiest texture. Store leftover bark in an airtight freezer container and enjoy straight from the freezer for the best consistency.
