D’awwww!!! Look at those cute puppy faces!! They look like the faces of two little puppies that have their parents wrapped around their lil fingers, I mean paws. In fact I’m struggling to type up this blog post because they both somehow weaseled their way up on to my lap. So if there’s any typos in this one I’m blaming it on them! HA! Anyways meet Nittany (the white one on the left with the cute lil spot on his head) and Oscar (our little brownie on the right). Nittany was our first baby and is older by one year, he’s 7 and Oscar is 6. They actually really are related in real life (they share the same Grandma — Pickles) but we tell them they’re brothers!! So Shhh!! Don’t tell them our secret! They love to bark at EVERYTHING, follow us around like shadows, and steal all of the covers at night, but we couldn’t imagine our lives without them!! Dachshund owners know what I’m talking about.
We do our very best to spoil them rotten. Every summer when the weather starts to heat up I break out the puppy pool so they can go for a swim AND I make this ice cream recipe. It was an instant hit! (really anything food related is an instant hit with these two!)
Here’s all you’ll need: Milk bones, peanut butter, Greek yogurt, banana baby food, and 2 oz plastic cups.
In a large bowl, combine Greek yogurt, peanut butter, and banana baby food.
Blend well with a hand mixer. Mom!! Can we lick the bowl??? Of course I totally let them. The most spoiled puppy award goes to these two!
Spoon into plastic cups. Place on a cookie sheet or flat tray.
Push a Milk Bone treat directly in the center. The mixture is thick enough that it should stand up all by itself. You can also skip this step if you don’t have any milk bones on hand and just go with the frozen treat.
Freeze for 4 hours or overnight. Store in an airtight container in the freezer until ready to use. I love these because they are so cheap and easy to make! And you know exactly what is going into the ice cream! Always check with your vet before you give your babies homemade treats. Nittany and Oscar aren’t sensitive to very many foods and they always gobble these down without any issues or upset tummies. Look how adorable!!
Nittany’s so excited he’s licking his lips!! Oscar is uber focused on doing whatever will get him that treat!!
When you’re whole life revolves around food!!! Tip: If you hold the ice cream in your hand for about 30 seconds, your hand warms it up enough that it will easily pop out of the plastic cup.
We always eat this treat outside and you can see why!! It’s a no holds barred ice cream eating sesh! Licking, biting, chewing, nothing is off limits!!
