Those days of depriving your pooch of a tasty Summer treat are gone! Here is a dog-friendly recipe that is sure to please!

So here’s what you’ll need for the “base” of your dog ice cream.

◾1 32oz tub of organic plan Greek Yogurt
◾2 heaping tablespoons of organic no sugar added peanut butter
◾1 heaping tablespoon of pure organic pumpkin (NOT pumpkin pie filling)
◾silicone cupcake molds…or another vessel to put the ice cream in individual servings

This measurement makes approximately 12 servings depending on how much or little you fill the molds.

The peanut butter I buy needs to be refrigerated so I usually let everything sit out and come to a cool room temp and then place everything in my stand mixer with the whisk attachment. I’ve done it by hand too, so don’t worry if you don’t have a stand mixer! Once everything is thoroughly mixed and aerated a bit I split the mixture into the molds as evenly as possible, put some plastic wrap over it and then place them in the freezer to harden up until ready to serve.

I love using the silicone because 1. It’s reusable, and 2. It’s soft on their tongues. 🙂

What is nice about the recipe above is that it is healthy for your dog AND you can customize it to your pet’s taste. For instance, if your pup likes banana, put a little in. Or if grapes are his thing then chop some up and add it. You can even include savories like bits of meat or cheese!
