Ingredients

Scale

Base Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup (70 g) frozen cherries
  • 1/2 cup (125 ml) dairy-free milk
  • 2 teaspoons maple syrup, or to taste
  • 1/8 teaspoon almond extract, or to taste
  • 3 tablespoons (30 g) whole chia seeds

Instructions

  1. Blend Cherry Mixture: In a blender, combine the frozen cherries, dairy-free milk, maple syrup, and almond extract. Blend until smooth using a small personal blender for best results with single-serving portions.
  2. Add Chia Seeds: Pour the cherry milk mixture into a jar or container, then stir in the whole chia seeds thoroughly to distribute them evenly.
  3. Initial Rest and Stir: Let the mixture sit for about 10 minutes to allow chia seeds to begin absorbing the liquid, then stir again to break up any clumps.
  4. Chill Overnight: Cover the container and refrigerate overnight to allow the pudding to fully thicken. Some chia brands may set faster, but overnight is recommended for best texture.
  5. Final Stir and Serve: Before serving, stir the pudding once more. Adjust sweetness with additional maple syrup if needed and add any preferred toppings.

Notes

  • Use dairy-free milk such as almond, oat, or coconut to keep this pudding vegan and dairy-free.
  • Maple syrup can be adjusted or substituted with honey if not strictly vegan.
  • Letting the pudding sit overnight ensures proper thickening and better texture.
  • This recipe is versatile; add toppings like fresh fruit, nuts, or shredded coconut for extra flavor and texture.
  • If the pudding is too thick after refrigeration, stir in a little additional milk to reach desired consistency.
