Is cottage cheese bark keto friendly?

It can be! The base recipe uses honey (not keto), but if you swap the honey for Allulose or Stevia and stick to low-sugar toppings like nuts and dark chocolate, it fits perfectly into a ketogenic diet.

You likely used low-fat cheese or didn't use enough sweetener. Sugar (and honey) lowers the freezing point of water. If you skimp on the sweetener, the water freezes harder. Use full-fat cheese for the best results.

Can I use frozen fruit on top?

Avoid it. Frozen fruit is hard as a rock. Fresh fruit freezes to a "firm but biting" consistency that matches the texture of the bark much better.

How long does it last in the freezer?

If stored in an airtight Ziploc bag or tupperware, it lasts for 2-3 months . However, for the best flavor and to avoid freezer burn on the fruit, try to eat it within 2 weeks.
