Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Chia Seeds: In a small bowl, combine the chia seeds with 100ml of almond milk. Stir well to prevent clumping and let it sit for about 10 minutes until the mixture thickens and forms a pudding-like consistency.
  2. Prepare the Cherries: While the chia seeds are soaking, wash and pit the cherries. For babies, it's essential to ensure there are no pits left. Once pitted, place them in a small saucepan.
  3. Cook the Cherries: On medium-low heat, cook the cherries for about 5 minutes. This step is to soften the cherries, making them easier to puree. Add a little water if needed to prevent sticking. Once softened, let them cool slightly.
  4. Blend the Mixture: In a blender or food processor, combine the cooked cherries, the remaining 100ml of almond milk, the thickened chia seed mixture, and the rice syrup. Blend until smooth and creamy.
  5. Serve or Store: Transfer the puree to a bowl, and it's ready to serve. Ensure it's at a safe temperature before feeding your baby.
