Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons chia seeds
  • 1 cup milk (any variety, such as dairy, almond, or oat milk)
  • ½ cup fresh or frozen cherries, pitted and chopped
  • Optional: sweetener such as honey, maple syrup, or agave to taste
  • Optional: vanilla extract, a few drops for flavor

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a mixing bowl or container, add the chia seeds and milk. If desired, also add sweetener and vanilla extract to enhance flavor.
  2. Mix Thoroughly: Stir well to combine the seeds evenly in the milk, preventing clumps and ensuring an even consistency once set.
  3. Add Cherries: Fold in the chopped cherries gently into the chia mixture for an even jelly-like texture with bursts of fresh fruit.
  4. Refrigerate: Cover the mixture and place it in the refrigerator. Let it chill for at least 4 hours or overnight until the pudding thickens to a creamy consistency.
  5. Serve: Once thickened, stir the pudding again if needed and serve cold. Optionally, garnish with additional fresh cherries or nuts for texture.

Notes

  • Use any type of milk according to dietary preference or restrictions.
  • Chia seeds absorb liquid and expand, so be sure to refrigerate long enough.
  • Adjust sweetness based on personal taste or omit for a naturally low-sugar version.
  • This pudding can be stored covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • For a smoother texture, you can soak chia seeds in milk and blend before refrigerating.
