You’ll need…
Silicone ice cube trays or candy molds – We found some adorable paw print-shaped and star-shaped ones that were ideal for this occasion!
You’ll need…
- Strawberries (about a ½ dozen)
- Blueberries (about a dozen)
- 2 Tablespoon Plain yogurt
- 1/2 Tablespoon Water
Time Required: 15 minutes + 4 hours freeze time
Servings: 20 yummy treats
This recipe calls for plain, unsweetened yogurt, however, all natural, vanilla yogurt is fine to use too. Regardless of which you choose, please make sure the yogurt does not have any of the artificial sweetener Xylitol, as it’s extremely toxic to dogs!!
Note: Strawberries, blueberries and yogurt are safe for dogs to eat. If you have any concerns about what you’re feeding your dogs or questions regarding possible allergic reactions, please call your vet.
- Rinse the strawberries, remove stems and cut berries into small pieces. Rinse blueberries and set them aside.
- Place strawberries into a bowl and mash them into a pulp-like consistency or use a blender to puree. Spoon a layer of strawberry pulp into each space in your mold or ice cube tray.
- In a separate bowl, stir water into the yogurt to soften it a bit. (This makes it easier to pour into the nooks and crannies of your mold.) Just be sure it’s not too watered down. Then place a small dollop of yogurt on top of the strawberry layer in your mold.
- Top each treat with a fresh blueberry and freeze for 3-4 hours or overnight. Once solid, remove the frozen treats from the tray and store in an air-tight container in the freezer.
Don’t you just love how these turn out? A little slice of Americana in every bite! These will definitely keep your pup happy while you fire up the grill.
If you can, try to serve these yummy frozen pupsicles outside…and just a few at a time (to avoid the dreaded brain freeze). If you give these to your pup in the house, the frozen berry treats will melt and stain your carpet!
