Notes

Recipe Notes

Note #1- To keep things incredibly simple I use the frozen cherries from Costco.

Note #2- Cherry extract is a fun and tasty alternative to vanilla extract. Additionally, Costco has the best value of real vanilla extract.

Note #3- I used flax milk for this recipe because of its rich creaminess and higher level of protein. However, any type of milk may be used. (See Milk Variations section above in post.)
