Star’s ice cream!
It’s homemade and delicious.
Ice cream might be a delicious treat, but first, it needs to thaw for a few minutes. So, watch Star’s latest film, Star and the Sand Caves, and return here when it’s finished.

To the recipe!
Ice Cream or Froyo?
Both!
Star’s been experimenting with different bases, with lots of guidance from Can Dogs Eat It? and ChatGPT. Most dog-friendly ice cream sold in shops is made primarily with some fruit purées, but Star’s ice cream takes a different approach.
Star’s ice cream ingredients:
480ml (87%) of either plain Greek yoghurt or lactose-free milk.
60ml (10%) of apple purée.
7.5g (<2%) of coconut oil.
1.25g (<1%) of vanilla powder.
0.5g (<1%) of xanthan gum.
Mix the ingredients in a high-powered blender, then pour the mixture into an ice cream maker or a freezer-safe container and store it in the freezer overnight. Let it thaw for 5 minutes before serving.
Plain Greek yoghurt and lactose-free milk are safe dairy options for dogs. However, it’s important the yoghurt is sugar-free and does not contain xylitol because it’s dangerous for dogs.
Apple purée adds sweetness, is great for dogs, and it’s Star’s favourite fruit. Coconut oil and xanthan gum help to thicken and stabilise the ice cream. And vanilla powder adds a subtle fragrance and taste, which Star loves.
The ice cream is ready now!
Star’s Starlight ice cream,
served in a portioned jar, ready for Star to lick.
This flavour is named for its starlight hue, because it contains Star’s name, and because it’s a very light (low in fat) ice cream. Humans can enjoy it too.
Star loves her ice cream. She said so herself.
Possible translation: “I love it!”
Now to experiment with different flavours and dairy-free alternatives like coconut milk. 🥥
