In a blender, combine your frozen cherries, dairy-free milk, maple syrup, and almond extract. Blend on medium speed for about 30 seconds until smooth.

Pour the cherry milk mixture into a medium-sized jar or bowl. Stir in the whole chia seeds and mix well for about 1 minute.

Let the mixture sit for about 10 minutes at room temperature, stirring occasionally to prevent settling.

Cover the jar or bowl and refrigerate overnight, or for a minimum of 4 hours.

Before serving, stir the pudding and adjust thickness with more dairy-free milk if needed. Serve in bowls topped with fruits or granola.
