We think this would also make a great cat ice cream too!

Today I’m sharing with you an OLD recipe from the blog that I’m revamping a bit with an updated recipe (took the honey out of the recipe because it wasn’t truly necessary), updating the photos, AND adding a video for how to make it!

The heat index in Nashville this week is getting up above 100 degrees and for my 2 long haired pups, that’s simply a bit too hot! I mean, for everyone that is a bit too hot but I imagine wearing a winter coat in the summer is not exactly fun. As a result, they don’t spend too much time outside during the worst of the heat.

3 Ingredient Dog Ice Cream: a frosty paws copy cat recipe

Before making these, I suggest that you do a little bit of research to make sure that you are comfortable with your dogs consuming each of these 3 ingredients or maybe if there’s a special kind of yogurt you prefer. You should also make sure to check that the ingredients don’t contain anything that your particular pet might have any allergy to.

I’m happy with my dogs having all of these ingredients (only a little every once in a while) but everyone is different and has varying opinions on the matter. Okay? Let’s do this.

Why you’ll love this dish:

It’s a dog-friendly ice cream made with simple and thoughtful ingredients
It only takes about 5 minutes to throw together!
It’s a refreshing frozen treat that your furry friends will certainly LOVE!
It has no added sugar, sweeteners, or weird ingredients like many of the store bought versions.
It can be easily stored in the freezer for short treats!

Ingredients:

Plain Yogurt of choice – I most often use plain Greek yogurt but which yogurt you prefer will work well!
Ripe banana – I most often make this with banana BUT you can easily swap this out for pure pumpkin puree (I usually use canned pumpkin) or even mashed sweet potato!
Peanut butter – because I’ve never met a pooch that didn’t love peanut butter! You’ll simply want to check the ingredients and make sure that it doesn’t have an xylitol in it as that is toxic for dogs.
Optional add ins: you can easily add any doggy safe foods to this ice cream! I’ve added crumbled up dog treats to the top as well as blueberries and strawberry!

How to Make Dog Ice Cream:

This is ridiculously straightforward! Add all three of the ingredients (banana, yogurt, and peanut butter) to a blender and blend until creamy. You can also do this in a big bowl with a hand mixer or simply by hand if you’re ready to put a little muscle into it.

The mixture is then poured into whatever mold you have on hand. I used THIS paw print mold from Amazon BUT I’ve also done this using ice cube trays and mini Tupperware containers. They all work great and I promise your dogs won’t care either way. I’ll link a few other options at the bottom of the post too!

PLEASE please let me know if you make this ice cream for dogs AND massive bonus points if you send me a pic on Instagram of your dog eating their dessert??
