Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a small blender, combine 1 cup of frozen sweet cherries, 1 cup of your favorite unsweetened dairy-free milk, 2 tablespoons of maple syrup, and 1/2 teaspoon of almond extract. Blend until smooth and creamy.
  2. Pour the blended cherry mixture into a medium-sized jar or bowl. Gently stir in 1/4 cup of whole chia seeds until evenly distributed.
  3. Let the mixture sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes to allow chia seeds to absorb the liquid.
  4. Cover with a lid or plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight or for at least 4 hours.
  5. When ready to serve, stir the pudding and add toppings like fresh fruit, granola, or dairy-free yogurt.
