It's somebody's birthday and you know what that means time for birthday dog treats
Okay, so today we're gonna make something really easy we're actually gonna make strawberry ice cream
For Shelby for her birthday. All you are gonna need is some strawberries a container of plain yogurt
It doesn't have to be low-fat
This was just what I grabbed but make sure it is plain and then we're actually gonna freeze some of the ice cream in these
little graham cracker
Crusts because I thought it was cute or you can use little baking cups or you can actually use like the ice cube trays
like you guys saw us use for the
Watermelon treat video. Okay, you're gonna come make treats with us. Come on in here
I know it's a little different than normal, but this one was so easy
We thought we'd film it this way and then of course, what's a birthday without a cake?
We are actually gonna use this box cake
I know what you think girls and we are going to make
Cupcakes for Shelby and if you guys are interested in buying this box cake
There will be an Amazon link down in the video description to where you can get it
They have a bunch of different flavors and no, it's not really chocolate. It's carob. It's not really chocolate
Now there are a couple different ways you can do this
You can either smash the strawberries up make like a puree or you can cut them up into little pieces
And I think today we're gonna cut them up into little pieces
see
Shelby you like strawberries
Yeah
You want I know you would take a bite
What?
She's like, oh, oh, let me drop it. What about cut up? You'll take one cut up
You'll take one cut up. Well, shall we do it?
She's like nope
Let's see if she'll eat it now
How about now Shelby? Oh
Gee now it's the best thing ever
So, like I said, I chose to chop up our strawberries and now we are going to add the entire tub of
yogurt
Right do it and we're gonna scoop it and stir it together
It'll be great
Can't do it one-handed though. All right. Well that didn't turn out quite as pink as I had hoped
So I'm gonna take the rest of my strawberries and I'm gonna put them in a blender and I'm gonna pour them in there
That's a little bit more the color I was looking for
Pour it in here and then mix it back all together
It's pink Memphis is pink and we're gonna take and I'm actually gonna pick the bowl up
but we're gonna pick the bowl up and we're going to fill these little cups and then we're gonna fill the little
cupcake cups with whatever's left
All right. Now we've just got to put them in the freezer overnight
So Shelby can have them for her birthday. You guys want to try a little bit unfrozen?
You want to try some unfrozen? Okay, hold on just a second. You want to try some unfrozen?
I know you're gonna be crazy and you're gonna be crazy. Here Shelby
Okay, here Memphis. Fine, since you have no patience. Here Oakley, since I know you have no patience either and Shelby has the best patience
What do you think?
Is it good unfrozen?
Well, they like it unfrozen so hopefully they'll like it frozen
And
Now we're gonna make the carob cupcakes again. It's not chocolate. It's carob
All you're gonna need is one package of the box cake a quarter of a cup of vegetable oil
3 quarters of a cup of water and one egg. We're gonna throw it all in here and mix it together
Preheat your oven to 350 mix the batter together
Spray your cupcake pan with a nonstick spray and then just pour it in. What do you think?
Want some cupcakes to go? What's your ice cream there Diva? Yeah, is it gonna be good enough for you?
You're so stinking cute. Since it's your birthday, do you get to lick the spoon?
Are you licking the spoon? You want to lick the spoon? How about you Oakley?
You want to lick the spoon?
Think it's gonna be good? Hmm? Think it's gonna be good? What do you think? Think it's gonna be good?
We'll find out
As I almost dropped the camera and now we'll let them cool
I only ended up making five because I couldn't remember how much it expanded but I probably could have done all six of these
All right
Everything is done
the little pup cakes turned out perfect the frosting that I actually used you guys is just a mixture of
About a quarter of a cup of peanut butter and a quarter of a cup of applesauce
It makes the unsweetened applesauce makes the perfect
frosting for these treats and then I put them in the fridge a little bit so it firms the
Frosting up a little bit and the little sprinkles you see on there are actually just a few of these
Yes, they are made of sugar, but there's only a few on there. You don't have to put them on there
We just thought they were cute
You could also take and crumple up dog biscuits and put them on the top
I thought about doing that but now the ice cream. How did the ice cream turn out? How did the ice cream turn out?
Hey, excuse me, excuse me, you cannot steal any the ice cream turned out
Absolutely adorable. I really like that
I put it in these little cake tins the little graham cracker crusts
But even these they come off real easy, and I think um, I think they're excited to try
Okay, well I'm gonna go ahead and let I will I will let you try the ice cream but the cake you'll have to get
Sorry, I know and you're gonna see Shelby's birthday video before you see the ice cream video
But right now you're only getting ice cream so hard to do one-handed
All right, Memphis is like I got this figured out
Oakley's like I'm taking mine somewhere else Shelby. Are you licking yours?
Is it delicious?
Is it good I
Wasn't sure if you'd like it
I actually got some on my fingers and just licked my fingers and it literally tastes like frozen strawberry yogurt
There's no sugar in it, which is good. I
Guess it'd be healthy for people too. So hey share one with your dog if you want right girls
Oakley oh my gosh, you guys really we gotta go check this out Oakley if you bury it, it'll melt
Oakley you can't bury your ice cream. It'll melt Oakley. You can't you can't bury it. It'll melt
Okay, so apparently Oakley is gonna bury her ice cream there it is are you gonna eat it now it's covered in dirt
Oh, not a good enough hole. She can put it in this hole instead
Apparently it's just that good that she wants to save it for later
So there you have it you guys homemade strawberry ice cream for your dogs
