Ice cream for breakfast? Yes please…

Did you know that Thursday is International Ice Cream for Breakfast Day? A day that celebrates the bravery of children who have fought or who are fighting a battle with cancer, it all began with Malia Grace Peterson, whose family made February 18 (her birthday) into Eat Ice Cream For Breakfast Day in her honour. Malia – who sadly lost her battle with cancer in 2010 – loved having the cold treat for breakfast, so that’s how her family remembers her on her birthday every year. The idea has grown into a way for people all over the world to honour kids who are currently battling cancer.

To add a Quivertree Publications spin to the day, here’s a generous helping of ice-cream recipes from a few of our most popular cookbooks. If you decide to make one of these delicious confections, be sure to take a pic of it and post it on social media – and remember to tag it with the official hashtag for International Ice Cream for Breakfast Day, which is #icecreamforbreakfast, and give us a shout-out too with #quivertreepublications.
