Frugal Frosty Paws Ice Cream Recipe for Fido

With the temperatures warming up and the dog days of Summer quickly approaching, there’s nothing better than a cool treat to get tails wagging. If you’re like me and love to give your dogs special treats from time to time, then you will love this frugal frozen treat for fido.

My two dogs love ice cream and whenever we have it they get a little taste at the end. Then I discovered Frosty Paws ice cream for dogs which comes in a peanut butter flavor that they love. But it’s a bit pricey so they only get it on special occasions. The Frosty Paws ice cream for dogs costs between $3.59 – $3.99 for a box of four little serving cups.

For a fraction of the cost you can make this great Living Frugal Tips version at home. I’m calling it Frugal Frosty Paws Ice Cream and there’s another benefit besides the low cost — by using Soy Milk you can ward off any problems if your dogs happen to be lactose intolerant.

Ingredients:

• Soy Milk – regular or vanilla flavor can be used, and you can also use the light version for fewer calories
• Peanut Butter
• Honey

Directions for Making Frugal Frosty Paws Ice Cream for Dogs:

1. Mix one quart Soy Milk (which is 1/2 of the half gallon container that Soy Milk typically comes in)
2. Add one big scoop of peanut butter
3. Add 2 tablespoons of honey
4. Melt all of the above ingredients together on top of the stove on medium to medium heat, stirring constantly.
5. Let cool a bit and then pour about 1/4 cup into little paper cups such as the mini Glad brand for individual single servings. Or you can use an ice cube try for a smaller serving size.
6. Freeze until firmly set.

When ready to serve they easily pop out of the little cups or ice cube tray and you can place the Frugal Frosty Paws Ice Cream on a plate or in a bowl for your dog to enjoy. It’s definitely best to serve outside.

My two dogs just love it!!
