In a blender, combine the frozen cherries, dairy-free milk, maple syrup, and almond extract. Blend until smooth and creamy, about 30-45 seconds.

Pour the blended mixture into a medium-sized jar or bowl. Gradually stir in whole chia seeds and mix well to prevent clumping.

Let the mixture sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes to allow chia seeds to swell.

Cover and refrigerate overnight, or for at least 4-6 hours to thicken.

Before serving, stir gently to ensure a smooth consistency, adding more dairy-free milk if desired.
