Ingredients
- Frozen Blueberries: I use organic frozen blueberries. Frozen is best for this recipe (not fresh) because it helps it be more thick.
- Coconut Cream: I use organic coconut cream, I recommend the Let's Do Organic brand as this whips up really well. Make sure to chill the can of coconut cream for at least 24 hours before beginning this recipe.
- Honey: I use organic raw honey for a little added sweetness that is safe for dogs.

Tips for Homemade Blueberry Pup Cup
- You can substitute the blueberries with another dog friendly fruit such as strawberries (make sure to de-stem), raspberries, or blackberries.
- This is a high fat treat, so be mindful of how much you share with your dog. This should be fed in moderation, which is why it's a great treat to share!
- You can also eat this too!
How to Make a Homemade Blueberry Pup Cup
- Chill the can of coconut cream for at least 24 hours before beginning this recipe. Scoop out the coconut cream from the can, do not use the coconut water. You can store the coconut water in an airtight container in the fridge and use for smoothies or other recipes. Add the coconut cream into a blender with the frozen blueberries and honey.
- Blend until smooth and creamy. Because there is no liquid, you can use a blender tamper or a spatula to help mix it up at first to get it going!
- Transfer to a small dish and add fresh blueberries on top and it’s ready to serve to your dog. Be mindful of how much you give your dog as this is high in fat, it should be a small amount for a treat.
- You can also use this as a cold foam for lattes for you! Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
How to Serve

Recipe FAQ's
Traditional pup cups from a coffee shop are just human whipped cream, which is why they are not good for your dog. With this recipe you can make a healthy homemade pup cup with just 3 ingredients that your dog will love. If you want a more traditional pup cup, try our Dog Friendly Whipped Cream too!
They are not great. The pup cups at Starbucks are just human whipped cream in a cup. This contains heavy whipping cream and vanilla syrup (I know because I used to work there!). This has dairy, flavors, sugars and stabilizers like carrageenan and more, which are not dog safe ingredients in general.
This recipe made using coconut cream, frozen blueberries and honey is a much better alternative than Starbucks! If you want a more traditional pup cup, try our Dog Friendly Whipped Cream too!
Yes, blueberries are a superfood for your dog, they contain antioxidants and fiber. Just be mindful not to feed too many blueberries as they do contain sugar. They are perfect for homemade dog treats like this!
Yes, coconut cream is safe for dogs and it's a better, dairy free option than traditional heavy whipping cream with dairy.
I don't recommend this as dairy can upset dogs stomachs. Many dogs are lactose intolerant, so I always recommend keeping treats dairy free.
Yes, strawberries, blackberries, raspberries or bananas are also safe for dogs and would be delicious in this recipe! Just be sure if you are using strawberries to remove the stems completely as these can cause GI upset for dogs.
This is a treat and should be fed in moderation. Because it's high in fat, you do need to be mindful of how much your dog eats. Some dogs are more sensitive to high amounts of fat compared to others. It's a great treat for special occasions.
Yes, if you have extra you can freeze it in an airtight container for up to 1 month.
