Sweet Tooth: Cherry Almond Pudding Parfait
Yowsa, it's Friday already... I swear the days go by suuper fast in the summer. It's hot and sunny here so I'll be enjoying a day outside - yoga on the dock, and a trip to the farmer's market before my friend Denyse arrives from Winnipeg.
Cherry Almond Pudding
1 1/2 cups chopped, pitted cherries
1/4 cup + 1 tablespoon irish moss gel*
1/4 cup packed, pitted medjool dates
1 teaspoon chia seed
1 teaspoon pure almond extract (or more, to taste)**
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
2 tablespoons melted coconut oil
Blend all but the oil until completely smooth and creamy.
Add the oil and blend again to incorporate.
Chill the pudding for a few hours.
**Pure almond extract is more diluted in flavor than regular almond extract, so keep this in mind depending on which you decide to use.

looks beautiful and yummy!!!! :)<br />Can you sub irish moss gel for the powder form (this seems to be the only version I can find lately)??<br /><br />Thx...you Rock!
I am sorry to admit that I have yet to buy cherries this summer. Shame on me..I was born and raised a short distance from the cherry capitol- Traverse City, MI.<br />I am going to get some and give your recipe a try. I bought my Irish Moss two weeks ago...it's been just sitting there. Now I can break it out and create a yummy treat.<br />Peace and Raw Health,<br />E

This looks delicious. I've never seen irish moss gel before. Where can I find it, and do I have to use it in this recipe?<br /><br />jessyburke88@gmail.com
