What is doggy cheesecake?
We created this doggy cheesecake using plain Greek yogurt and frozen blueberries. These two ingredients blended up in a blender resemble the texture and style of classic human cheesecake, but with dog safe ingredients! I make a crust using homemade dog cookies, but you can also skip the crust if your dog is gluten free. These cheesecake dog treats are a fun and simple way to celebrate your dog with safe organic ingredients!
I love making dog treats and meals that resemble human foods! Check out some of our other fun recipes like Pumpkin Donuts for Dogs, Dog Friendly Whipped Cream, Apple Crisp for Dogs, Dog Burger Bowl (Homemade Beef Dog Food), Dog Friendly Sweet Potato Fries, or Pumpkin Granola for Dogs.
Ingredients
- Peanut Butter Dog Cookies: I use my Bakery Famous Soft Peanut Butter Dog Cookies for the crust, but you can also use any kind of dog biscuit or cookie that your dog likes.
- Plain Greek Yogurt: We love Nancy's Organic Plain Greek Yogurt for John John. Be sure you are using a plain Greek yogurt with no added sugars or flavors.
- Frozen Blueberries: I use organic frozen blueberries for the filling, this makes it easy but also frozen blueberries are best for blending up into a filling.

Baker's Tips
- We use our Bakery Famous Soft Peanut Butter Dog Cookies for the crust, but any dog cookie you have or your dog likes will work. You could also use Pumpkin Peanut Butter Dog Cookies, Mushroom Peanut Butter Dog Treats, or even our Mini Peanut Butter Oat Dog Treats (you'll just need to use more of these since they are much smaller).
- You can skip the crust completely if you want to make these easier and even faster!
- Feel free to use another dog friendly fruit in place of blueberries. Strawberries, bananas, raspberries, or blackberries also work!
- Be sure to store these in the freezer.
- You can let them warm up a big before giving to your dog. John John likes them after they've been in the fridge for an hour. I usually cut it up and put on top of food as a food topper!
How to Make Mini Blueberry Cheesecakes for Dogs
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a muffin pan with liners. In a food processor, process the peanut butter cookies and coconut oil until uniform.
- Scoop 1 tablespoon into them muffin liners. Bake for 5 minutes. (If you have extra crust, just use it as a yummy food topper!)
- In a blender, add the Greek yogurt and frozen blueberries. Blend until smooth.
- Blend on high until smooth and there are no bits of blueberries.
- Pour the blueberry mixture into the cupcake liners.
- Freeze for at least 4 hours or overnight. Top with a drizzle of raw honey and fresh blueberry before serving. Make sure to cut into pieces for your pup! Let you pup go nuts!
Mini Blueberry Cheesecakes for Dogs FAQ's
Yes, you can use strawberries, bananas, blackberries, or even raspberries. Make sure to choose a fruit your dog likes!
Plain Greek yogurt is the best for dogs, but if your dog is not lactose intolerant you can use regular plain yogurt so long sale there are no added sugars or flavors.
Store in airtight container in the freezer. You can let them soften a bit in the fridge before giving to your dog if they don't like frozen treats. Or you can just let sit out for a few minutes, which is what I do for John John, as he prefers them a bit softer.
