Oh boy! Do I like this recipe, I mean, I liiiiiiiike it! It's so close to tapioca without the reactions and it tastes even more fresh and creamy thanks to the homemade vanilla bean almond milk, a recipe you need, to make this properly; which I linked twice down below.
And no, you cannot substitute if you want the same results that I got. Trust me, it's worth the effort.
I used dark cherries because they are in season, are one of my all time favourite fruits, they meld well with vanilla and almonds, as well as helping to fight inflammation. Winning!
Plus, it's cherries, nothing else needs to be said. If for some sad reason they are not your thing, (For shame, but I forgive you) here are perfect subs:
Strawberries
Blueberries
Mango
Lychee
Apples
Banana
Nectarines
Peaches
Blackberries
Raspberries
If you use banana, add it just before serving so they stay pretty.
Without further ado, here is the delightful recipe.
