Cinnamon Granola Ice Cream

This recipe was inspired by my breakfast...each morning I sit down to a bowl of yogurt, fruit, and granola.  And as always, I thought that these flavors would also make a great ice cream!  Success!  I truly think this is one of the best recipes that I have made so far!  Feel free to personalize the recipe and add what ever granola/fruit/nuts that you like.  Enjoy!
