Ingredients

Instructions
Creating your Cherry Almond Frozen Dessert can be simple if you follow these easy steps:
1. Prep Your Ingredients: If using fresh cherries, wash and pit them. If using frozen cherries, allow them to thaw slightly.
2. Blend the Cherries: In a blender, combine the cherries, almond milk, sugar, almond extract, and lemon juice. Blend until smooth and well combined.
3. Taste and Adjust: Taste the mixture and adjust the sweetness if necessary. Add more sugar or lemon juice according to your preference.
4. Chill the Mixture: Pour the blended mixture into a bowl and refrigerate for about 30 minutes. This step allows the flavors to meld together.
5. Transfer to Freezer Container: After chilling, transfer the mixture to a freezer-safe container. Make sure to leave some space at the top for expansion as it freezes.
6. Freeze: Cover the container with a lid or plastic wrap. Freeze the dessert for at least 4-6 hours, or until solid. For best results, freezing overnight is recommended.
7. Prepare to Serve: Once the dessert is frozen, remove it from the freezer and allow it to sit at room temperature for about 5-10 minutes before serving to soften slightly.
8. Scoop and Garnish: Using a scoop, serve the frozen dessert into bowls. Garnish with sliced almonds on top for an added crunch and aesthetic appeal.
