Cottage Cheese Cream Recipe for Dogs

Share with other dog lovers!

You may have seen the fresh cream cheese craze go viral on TikTok.

Unlike the human version, this dog version is chocolate-free (remember: chocolate is toxic to dogs!) and uses blackstrap molasses instead of honey, although you can choose honey if you prefer. I prefer blackstrap molasses, however, because it has extra nutrients.

Did you know that a tablespoon of blackstrap molasses contains as much calcium as a cup of milk? Blackstrap molasses also provides potassium, magnesium, vitamin B6, selenium, manganese, iron, sulfur, and copper, making it a great choice for sweetening.

But all our dog knows is that it makes delicious ice cream!

I developed this formula for our new product. Ice Cream Coloring Book for Dogs (including dog ice cream recipe).

You will need 1 cup cottage cheese (small or large cheese will work), 1 tablespoon blackstrap molasses, and 1 tablespoon peanut butter (creamy or crunchy).

When choosing peanut butter, make sure it has NO xylitola sweetener that is extremely toxic to dogs. Only a few manufacturers include this sweetener, but always check the ingredients list to make sure you are only buying pure peanut butter!

Add all ingredients to a blender or food processor and blend until creamy. You can serve as soft serve or do as I did and freeze for a longer lasting treat.

You can use ice cube trays but I prefer silicone molds because they make it easier to remove the frozen ice cream when done.

I also added a little “handle” to the dish, half Peanut Butter and Apple Dog Treats.

Our dogs love it!
