Ingredients
  

Cherry Chia Base
  • 1 cup milk dairy or plant-based
  • 1 cup cherries pitted, fresh or frozen
  • 1/4 cup chia seeds
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup adjust to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 pinch salt
Optional Toppings
  • 2 tablespoons granola optional
  • 2 tablespoons sliced almonds optional

Equipment

  • Mixing Bowl
  • Blender
  • Whisk
  • Measuring Cups
  • Measuring Spoons
  • Rubber Spatula
  • Storage Jars
  • Tray
  • Freezer
  • Refrigerator
  • Scoop

Method
 

  1. Blend milk, cherries, maple syrup, vanilla, and salt until completely smooth.
  2. Whisk in chia seeds evenly. Rest the mixture for 5 minutes, then stir again to prevent clumps and improve texture.
  3. Pour into jars, cover tightly, and refrigerate for at least 6 hours until thick, creamy, and spoonable.
  4. Stir before serving. Add extra milk for a softer texture, then top with granola or almonds if desired.

Notes

For a softer pudding, stir in additional milk before serving. For a thicker texture, add another teaspoon of chia seeds. Freeze sealed portions for up to one month and thaw overnight in the refrigerator. Stir gently before serving for easy assembly. Customize flavor with almond extract, cinnamon, cocoa powder, or mixed berries. Store covered in the refrigerator for up to five days.
