How To Make This Dog Ice Cream Recipe

Whip up this dog ice cream in the food processor and spread it in a loaf pan to freeze before serving it to your favorite furry friend.

STEP ONE: Cut the bananas into 1-inch pieces and put them into a Ziploc bag, and lay flat, trying to keep the banana pieces separate. Freeze for 2 to 3 hours until the banana is solid.

STEP THREE: Take a loaf pan and pour the mixture into the pan. You could also use ice cube trays to make individual portions.

Notes

• Substitute yogurt and/or other ingredients your dog loves for a unique flavor.
• The ice cream you and I enjoy as humans is not safe for dogs. You just have to be aware of digestive issues that your pup may suffer from if it consumes milk or dairy products. Using ingredients that are lactose-free will avoid any issues that your dog may have.
• The frozen bananas may clump together in your food processor, so you can process them for about 20 to 30 seconds and then stir and break up the banana pieces, repeating 2 to 3 times. Then you can process until smooth as the bananas soften and don’t clump together.
• We suggest, for ease of use, let the ice cream freeze to soft serve, or freeze until hard and then let soften just a bit. Then scoop appropriate size scoops for your dog onto a small baking sheet. Place that baking sheet back in the freezer. Once those scoops have frozen, place them in a Ziploc bag and take one out the next time you are ready to give it to the dog. Otherwise, you have to keep refreezing the whole pan of ice cream, thawing, scooping, and repeating.
