You might need caught the viral TikTok cottage cheese ice cream craze.
In contrast to the human model, this dog-friendly model leaves out the chocolate (bear in mind: it’s poisonous to canines!) and substitutes blackstrap molasses for honey, though you possibly can go for honey for those who want. I like blackstrap molasses, although, for its additional vitamins.
Do you know a tablespoon of molasses comprises the identical quantity of calcium as a glass of milk? Blackstrap molasses additionally provides potassium, magnesium, vitamin B6, selenium, manganese, iron, sulfur, and copper, making it a sensible choice for deal with sweetening.
All our canines know, although, is that it produces a yummy ice cream!
I developed this recipe for our new Canine Ice Cream Coloring E book (which incorporates canine ice cream recipes).
You’ll want 1 cup of cottage cheese (small or giant curd, it doesn’t matter), 1 tablespoon of blackstrap molasses and 1 tablespoon of peanut butter (creamy or crunchy).
In selecting your peanut butter, make certain the peanut butter has NO xylitol, a sweetener that’s extraordinarily poisonous for canines. Only some producers embody this sweetener however at all times verify the substances listing to be sure to’re simply getting plain peanut butter!
Toss all of the substances in a blender or meals processor and blend till creamy. You possibly can feed this as a soft-serve ice cream or do like I do and freeze to make a longer-lasting deal with.
You should utilize ice dice trays however I like silicone molds because it’s simpler to pop the frozen ice cream out whenever you’re finished.
I additionally added somewhat “deal with” to the deal with, half of a Peanut Butter and Applesauce Canine Deal with.
Our canines cherished it!
