Serving Suggestions: Serve with dairy whip, ice cream or plain cream. Eat it warm or cold. It is delicious.

Comment: We eat this for breakfast, serve warm with dairy whip and for dessert with ice cream. It has very little fat. My friend Marsh Cohen had this at a bed and breakfast in Colorado. She couldn't get the original recipe So she put this together after much experimentation. She submitted it to a wild oats recipe contest and won 1st place. I have tried it with different ingredients, such as strawberries, raspberries, and honey instead of vanilla or almond extract. Use your own ideas, it can only get better and my son (14) loves it.
