Frosty Paws in the French Quarter

As you know from previous posts, I am a big fan of La Divina Gelateria on Magazine Street. I love their sweet cream gelato and get the walker to drive me there on hot days when I need a cool treat. Unfortunately, it is too far to work into my daily walk.

Luckily, the feeder was in the French Quarter checking out good things to eat this weekend. She came across the NEW location of La Divina Gelateria around the corner from the St. Louis Cathedral. I love to walk to Jackson Square, check out the artwork and bark at the pigeons, so this new addition is great news for me! The feeder also found that the gelateria is stocking their own Frosty Paws popicles just for doggies like me! I tried them and would highly recommend them to Quarter pups and tourist doggies, too.



When I returned from the gelateria, I made the feeder get in the kitchen and discover the secrets of these frosty delights. Her version is very good but I will continue to go to the French Quarter for the real thing.

If you don't have a La Divina Gelateria within walking distance, get your feeder to make this recipe.

Homemade Frosty Paws

32 oz. plain yogurt
1 banana
2 Tbsp. creamy peanut butter
2 Tbsp. honey

Mix all ingredients in a blender. Pour into ice cube trays. Freeze. Pop out of the trays as needed.

You may also freeze the mixture in an ice cream maker for 10 minutes. Spread thickened mixture between two sheets of waxed paper and freeze. After the mixture has frozen completely, use cookie cutters to freeze into fun shapes (like bones or paw prints)!.
