Strawberry-Almond Cheesecake Breakfast Ice Cream

Since the weather has turned cooler I thought I'd share a freezing cold breakfast recipe. Ok, so you could save it in your recipe box for the summertime or if you have kids like mine, there is no wrong time for ice cream. What could be better than ice cream for breakfast!

This recipe was inspired by Nourishing Days Very Berry Breakfast Ice Cream.  I've tried this recipe and you'd never know it was a healthy well balanced meal!



1- cup full fat cottage cheese
3 cups frozen strawberries
1 tsp of pure vanilla extract
1/2 cup full fat milk or heavy cream
2 egg yolks (optional)
2 tsp of stevia powder (or you could use another natural sweetener to taste)
1/2 cup of almond butter

Purree frozen strawberries and cottage cheese in food processor.  Add the rest of the ingredients.  Add more milk to achieve the desired consistency.  Serve in a cone or on top of waffles.  If you have leftovers you can freeze them.  When your ready to eat the rest leave it sit on the counter for 15 minutes to soften.
