A Puppuccino (or Starbucks Pup Cup) is the perfect treat for your four legged friend when you're hitting the Starbucks drive thru. You can also totally make one at home, too! Your pup will thank you.

Treat your furry friend to some Pupcakes, too, while you're at it! Want more Starbucks copycat recipes for humans? Try my Starbucks Caramel Apple Spice or Medicine Ball. They're both delicious and will help to keep you toasty on the inside.

Why You'll Love This Recipe

It couldn't be easier to make. Trust me, you got this one.
Your furry friend will be thrilled. Your pup will LOVE being able to enjoy a little treat.
You only need one ingredient. One. That's it.

What is a Puppuccino?

A puppuccino (sometimes also called a "pup cup") is an espresso-sized cup of whipped cream. It's designed for dogs, as the name "pup cup" would suggest. The name is a cute play on the "cappuccino" beverage. But instead of being made with espresso, the puppuccino is made out of whipped cream!

When you're hitting up the drive thru with your pooch in tow, you don't want them to feel left out. Grab yourself an Iced PSL and a pup cup for your best friend. They'll love it and you'll love watching them enjoy it.

What is in a Pup Cup?

If you're looking for a super easy treat for your pup, look no further. This recipe (it feels silly to even call it that, tbh) only requires ONE ingredient. See the recipe card for full information on ingredients and quantities.

  • Whipped cream: Canned whipped cream will do the trick. You can also use homemade whipped cream, if you prefer.

How to make a Puppuccino at home

There's only one step to this "recipe": Just squirt some whipped cream into a small cup! I reused an espresso cup from Starbucks from when I last picked up a puppuccino for my dog.

How to order a pup cup?

Unfortunately, you can't order one in the Starbucks app. You'll have to let them know at the window or register that you want to add one to your order.
