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 chopped pistachios optional
  • 1/4 cup fresh cherries halved

  • Whisk
  • Measuring Cups
  • Measuring Spoons

  • Storage Jars
  • Tray
  • Freezer
  • Refrigerator
  • Scoop

Method
 

  1. Blend milk, cherries, maple syrup, vanilla, and salt until smooth and evenly combined.
  2. Whisk in chia seeds thoroughly. Let the mixture rest for 5 minutes, then stir again to prevent clumping.
  3. Pour into jars, cover securely, and refrigerate overnight until thick, creamy, and perfectly spoonable.
  4. Stir before serving. Add extra milk for a softer texture, then garnish with cherries and pistachios if desired.

Notes

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