Servings: 2 servings
Ingredients
Chia Pudding
- 4 tbsp chia seeds
- ¾-1 cup milk I used almond milk, you can use any
- 1 tbsp honey optional
- Pinch of salt
Cherry Compote
- 1 cup cherries pitted chopped
- 2 tbsp water
- 1-2 tbsp sugar depends on tartness of fruit
Instructions
- Wash cherries and remove the pits with the help of cherry pitter. Roughly chop them.
- Take pitted, chopped cherries in a pan, along with water and sugar. And, cook it until cherries breakdown and turn into jammy consistency on medium heat. It will take about 15- 20 minutes.
- Keep stirring in between. You can add some more water if you feel like its sticking.
- The more water you add, the longer you will be cooking it to reduce the water.
- Once, it looks thick consistency, remove it from the heat. Let it cool down.
- Meanwhile it is cooling, take chia seeds in a medium sized bowl or two small jars.
- Add milk and honey, pinch of salt.
- Salt is totally optional. But I like that slight taste of salt in my sweet breakfasts or desserts.
- Stir it to mix the chia seeds to the milk. Leave it aside for at least 4 hours or longer until chia seeds have doubled in size and the mix looks thickened.
- It should have pudding like texture. Once, it is ready add the cherry compote and serve it.
- You can add other flavorings too- vanilla/almond extract, cinnamon, cardamom etc. I kept it simple.
Notes
You can use any fruits.
It stores well for couple of days in the refrigerator.
