I love how amazing new food trends are being created on social media internet websites and some of them go viral and get loads of attention. One of them that is making a huge buzz is around what is called “bark” – layers of yummy foods placed in flat layers on top of each other then frozen. Once frozen the “bark” is broken or cut into squares.

I have tried a few of these recipes recently and they do not disappoint. Its not every day that a food trend exceeds my expectations, but this protein cookie dough bark is definitely a winner.

Servings 10

Ingredients

• 2 cups almond or coconut flour
• 1 cup thick Greek-style yogurt, plain or vanilla
• 1/2 cup dates, soaked 30 minutes and drained
• 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
• 1/4 cup protein or collagen peptides powder, plain or vanilla
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (if you have used plain yogurt and protein powder)
• 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips

Chocolate Topping

• 1 cup chocolate chips
• 2 tablespoons coconut oil

Instructions

• Add all ingredients except for mini chocolate chips into a food processor and process until smooth and creamy. Add chocolate chips and pulse a couple of times to combine. The texture will be like thick pancake batter but you can add more flour or yogurt if needed.

  Spoon the cookie dough (batter) onto a parchment-lined rectangular cookie sheet about ½ inch thick. Leave a few inches around the edges. It does not have to be perfectly level.

Chocolate Topping

• Place chocolate chips and coconut oil in small dish and microwave with 20 second bursts stirring between each one until melted and smooth.

  Or use double boiler method - (pot of boiling water with a bowl resting on top) melt the chocolate chips and the coconut oil together.

  Once melted, pour the chocolate into the center of the chilled cookie dough, and spread it around with a spoon gently so it doesn't swirl in, just sits on top. Leave a bit of a border of cookie dough so the chocolate doesn't drip over the edge.

  Put the pan level in the freezer, uncovered for 4 hours or longer until it feels solid enough to break into chunks, not bendable.

  Store leftovers in the refrigerator for a week or frozen for about 3 months.
