Today is Ice Cream Sandwich Day so the perfect day to try making our Delicious DIY Dog-Friendly Ice Cream Sandwich Pups for your kids and furkids from our Dog Licks Recipe Series. Don’t they look adorable – almost too good to eat (all our Dog Licks Recipes look like little dogs).
It’s hot and humid so Kilo the Pug and I enjoyed tasting these little cuties. They really were melt in the mouth and super simple to create.
Ingredients
Dog-Friendly Sweet Cookies (1 small 2 large per ice cream sandwich)
- 2 1/2 cups flour
- half cup water

- 2 tablespoons of butter
- 2 tablespoons of olive oil (instead of a larger quantity of butter)
- 2 tbsp pure 100% pumpkin puree
- 2 tbsp dog-friendly peanut butter
- 1 egg
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
Dog-Friendly Ice Cream
- 1/2 banana sliced (or alternate fruit)
- 3 tbsp peanut butter
- 1/2 cup natural plain Greek yoghurt

Decorating
- washed blueberries
- washed strawberries
Directions
Preparation
Preheat oven to 350
Make Sweet Cookie Pups (You can see full recipe and alternate pup faces here)
- mix ingredients until firm dough and not too sticky to handle (you may need to add a tiny bit of water or flour to get just right).
- place dough in the fridge to chill for 10 minutes or until firm.
knead dough on a floured surface into a flat circle about 1 cm thick
- cut out 2 large circle shapes and 2 small circles to act as the face and muzzle
4. put on greased baking sheet, bake for 12 minutes or until golden brown
5.take out of the oven and cool for 10 minutes in the fridge before decorating
Prepare Ice Cream
- Combine bananas, peanut butter, and yoghurt in a food processor or blender, or mash together with a fork
- Freeze until almost solid then blend again (or you can use frozen yoghurt and frozen bananas and just blend together with peanut butter)
Assembly
- Blend the frozen mix and set in a bowl.
- Take a cookie and lay on a plate
- spread peanut butter onto the cookies
- place the small cookie in the lower centre of the larger cookie
- cut the strawberry in half for ears and a small triangle for the tongue
- place two blueberries for eyes and one for the nose
- Spoon the ice cream onto the plain cookie
- Place the dog faced cookie onto the ice cream covered cookie
- Enjoy!
As you can see in the video, Kilo loved his taste of his ice cream sandwich. It had all his favourite things. He ate the strawberry tongue first which surprised me but he seemed to really enjoy it.
Do Your Kids or Furkids Love Ice Cream Sandwiches?
You are so extremely talented! Those look delish are just too stinking cute!
Aww thanks Nicole. We have been having so much fun with these Dog Licks Recipes. I just love looking at them.
Oh Kilo is so lucky to have all these delicious recipes to try out! They’re so cute, you almost don’t want to eat them – almost 😉
LOL Kilo could not believe his good fortune when he was allowed to taste. Taking it away after a few bites and licks was a bit of a challenge but too much for one pug on a diet in one go- even though all low fat and low sugar ingredients. He loves ice cream, bananas, cookies, PB and now strawberries.
This is so clever! I pinned it to make later….the chances of that actually happening are slim but maybe one day my dogs will get as lucky as yours!
You can just use ready made human or dog cookies (no chocolate or nutmeg for dogs) and peanut butter to make quickly.
Ok, that is AWESOME!! I really, really want to try this recipe!!
What an amazing DIY! Great work and that looks DELICIOUS!!!
Those are adorable! I was surprised that Kilo went for the strawberry first, I would have thought he was a peanut butter guy.
This is a dog treat? Very interesting! Thanks for linking up for Wordless Wednesday. Have a terrific week!
Hi Cascia- thanks for stopping by. The Dog Licks Treats and Recipes are inspired by dogs and look like dogs but humans can eat them too. Many commercial cookies and commercial ice cream have more fat and sugar, and of course, you would not use peanut butter if there was any risk of allergies. Have a great week too. X Susie
Yumm love it, am getting fat just looking at these recipes – thanks so much for sharing
How adorable and healthy too! These would be so fun to make even though I’m not sure Haley would wait long enough to enjoy the artistic design before gobbling it up, haha!
Oh my gosh, these are even cuter than the Dogs in the Blankets recipe from a few days ago.
Yum! Sounds good enough for humans to eat.
I’m loving your new Dog Licks series, everything is so creative & delicious looking! I love ice cream sandwiches and this one looks irresistible! Thanks for sharing. My DIY Pinterest board is going to fill up nicely with all these great recipes of yours (- :
Love & Biscuits,
Dogs Luv Us and We Luv Them
Did you enjoy it more or Kilo? It’s super cute!
Honestly, this is so clever and adorable I cannot stand it! I shared and will pin. Such a great recipe for parties and events! Love this.
