Porridge with chia, almond milk and cherry sauce

Chia seeds bind their own weight more than 10 times in liquid, which means that they can be used to conjure up a creamy and slightly crunchy porridge. This is done with the flavor of the liquid in which the small super seeds are soaked. In this recipe, the chia porridge is made with almond milk. Then the porridge is turned into whipped cream, spoiled with lots of almonds and vanilla and topped with fresh cherries. The result is fantastically delicious and incredibly reminiscent of Christmas rice pudding. However, in a fresher and more nutrient-packed version. In the summer, you can top chia pudding with fresh cherries, but at this time of year, the classic cherry sauce is perfect.
