Notes

Use soft silicone moulds for these ice cream bars, as they will be super easy to remove once frozen. If you can't find these square moulds, you can also use silicone muffin cases.
I find that freezing the bars for one hour is the ideal time, as the chocolate is frozen well enough to easily remove the bars from the moulds, while the cottage cheese mixture is hot frozen solid, so you can have a good bite out of them.
However, if you freeze them for longer and they are too frozen to bite into, just leave them at room temperature for 20 minutes, they should then be soft enough to have a good bite.
