Shiro's Method
Ensure all cantaloupe seeds and the hard rind are completely removed, as seeds can cause blockages.
Blend the cantaloupe cubes until you get a smooth puree.
Whisk in the plain curd and honey until smooth.
Pour into silicone molds or ice trays.
Freeze for 4-6 hours until solid.
Serve one pop as a cooling reward after a short evening walk.
Storage
Keep in an airtight bag in the freezer for up to 1 month.
Serving Amount
1-2 pops per day for large dogs
