This layered ice lick is like a rocket for your dog [Recipe]

This layered frozen confection combines frozen fruit, goat’s milk and fruit puree into a beautiful frozen treat. It’s like the healthiest version of rocket pop!

The great part about this DIY gift is that it can easily be adapted to both your dog and your pocket. If your dog likes to stick to the basics, split this recipe down to the bare bones and include just one or two fruits.

You can always use fresh, seasonal fruit, but we’ve picked those that are sold in the grocery store freezer aisle.

What you need to create an ice lick

In its simplest form, a lick of ice is just a frozen ice cube that helps your dog beat the summer heat. You can combine most dog-friendly ingredients into a great treat for a long-term treat.

Here’s what you need to have before you do it:

• Room in the freezer — this is a must!
• A bowl, bucket or bundle pan to freeze your concoction. The container should be large enough that the contents don’t melt immediately when they encounter that summer air, but not so large that it won’t fit in your freezer.
• Tasty snacks like dog food, vegetables, fruit, cheese or meat to decorate your dog’s wound.
• Liquids such as low-sodium beef broth or chicken broth, unsweetened fruit juice, skimmed peanut butter, goat’s milk, yogurt, or plain water.
• Lifehack: Several types of containers to minimize rock mess — water bowls, sinks, or paddle pools can all work.

Assembly instructions

Creating your dog’s licking tape is pretty straightforward. You can follow multiple steps to create the layers as desired.

• Place a selection of rodents in the bottom of your bowl
• Add your liquid to cover and freeze for 30 minutes
• Repeat several times for multiple layers and flavors
• Freeze for a few hours or until it’s frozen solid

Once your frozen treat is ready, you will need to pour hot water over the outside of the mold so it doesn’t stick to the inside of the mold.

It’s best to serve outside or anywhere where cleaning up sticky stuff won’t be a problem. It gets messy when it melts!

Element

• 1/4 cup frozen berries

• 1 cup goat milk (we use powder)
• 1/2 cup frozen strawberries
• 1/2 cup frozen watermelon
• 1 cup frozen pineapple
• 1 cup frozen cantaloupe

Guide

This recipe is perfect for a fancy mold with subdivisions designed to hold the top layers.

Part I

• First, use cooking spray to clean the mold if you are using one.
• Next, place your berries in trays and ‘glue’ in place with some yogurt.
• Pour in goat’s milk (or diluted yogurt) to coat the berries.
• Freeze for at least an hour to set.

Part II

• Next, mix the strawberries and watermelon with the water until smooth.
• Pour mixture into molds and freeze for at least an hour or until solid.
• Repeat with pineapple and cantaloupe and then fill the rest of the mold.

You can always add water to thin the fruit or to fill the mold.

Freeze for 4 hours or until licked ice is completely solid.

To serve, turn the pan upside down under hot water until the pan comes loose from the ice.

Serve somewhere where you don’t mind getting a little wet and sticky!
