Dog Ice Cream (aka Frosty Paws)

This homemade dog ice cream recipe is a copycat of Frosty Paws, but made with just 3 simple ingredients.

Prep Time 10 minutes
Additional Time 2 hours
Total Time 2 hours 10 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups plain 0% Greek yogurt
  • 3/4 cup natural peanut butter (unsalted)
  • 1 ripe banana
  • 2 tablespoons chopped peanuts (optional)

Instructions

  1. Line a standard or mini muffin tin with natural liners. See my favorite brand below. Alternatively, have a silicon ice cube tray ready, or line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Place the yogurt, peanut butter, and banana in the bowl of a food processor (preferred method for piping), stand mixer, or medium-sized bowl.
  3. Blend until very smooth and creamy. If piping, transfer the yogurt mixture to a piping bag with tip snipped off. Squeeze into the prepared muffin tin, into molds, or simply make blobs or disks on a cookie sheet. Garnish with chopped peanuts if desired.
  4. Transfer the tin/mold/cookie sheet to the freezer and freeze until solid, at least two hours. You can also wait just one hour and your dog as soft serve.
  5. Once frozen, transfer to a large freezer bag or other freezer-safe food storage container. These ice cream treats can get very hard once frozen overnight, so allow them to thaw for about 10 minutes before giving to your dog.

Notes

This recipe makes about 5 standard muffin-sized ice cream treats, as pictured. You can make them any size you like, however.

It's very important to use natural peanut butter and yogurt without any additives or sweeteners. Some common ingredients such as Xylitol are very dangerous for dogs.
