Ingredients (for 8 bars):

• 500 g of fromage blanc (5 to 9% fat)
• 90 g unsalted butter (at room temperature)
• 90 g icing sugar (adjust to taste)
• A touch of vanilla extract or vanillin
• Jam or dulce de leche (optional, for garnish)
• 300g of chocolate (dark or milk)
• 30g vegetable oil (odorless)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the curd mixture: Combine the fromage blanc, butter and icing sugar in a blender. Blend until smooth and creamy. Add a touch of vanilla for a richer flavour.
2. Form the bars: Line a mold or baking sheet with parchment paper. Spread the curd mixture evenly in the mold. If desired, add a layer of jam or dulce de leche in the middle of the mixture. Place the mold in the freezer and let the bars harden for about 3 hours.
3. Melt the chocolate: Melt the chocolate in the microwave, stirring every 30 seconds to prevent burning. Once melted, add the vegetable oil and stir until smooth. This will help the chocolate coat the bars evenly.
4. Coat the bars: Remove the frozen curd mixture from the mold and cut into individual bar-sized pieces. Dip each bar into the melted chocolate, making sure it is completely coated. Place the coated bars on a sheet of parchment paper and let the chocolate harden.
5. Let the bars set: Let the bars set completely. You can refrigerate or freeze them to speed up the process and ensure the chocolate becomes firm and crunchy.

Enjoy your homemade frozen curd bars with their creamy filling and rich chocolate coating. They are the perfect treat for any occasion!
