You might need caught the viral TikTok cottage cheese ice cream craze.
Not like the human model, this dog-friendly model leaves out the chocolate (keep in mind: it’s poisonous to canines!) and substitutes blackstrap molasses for honey, though you possibly can go for honey in case you want. I really like blackstrap molasses, although, for its further vitamins.
Do you know a tablespoon of molasses accommodates 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 good selection 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 massive 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. Just a few producers embody this sweetener however all the time verify the components record to ensure you’re simply getting plain peanut butter!
Toss all of the components in a blender or meals processor and blend till creamy. You’ll be able to feed this as a soft-serve ice cream or do like I do and freeze to make a longer-lasting deal with.
You need to use ice dice trays however I like silicone molds because it’s simpler to pop the frozen ice cream out once you’re performed.
I additionally added a little bit “deal with” to the deal with, half of a Peanut Butter and Applesauce Canine Deal with.
Our canines cherished it!
