A chocolate-cake-inspired base topped with cherries and more chocolate? Sounds good to us! This one's for you, Charlie Lewis...
Prep: 10 minutes
Cook: 20 minutes
Ingredients:
1/2 cup old-fashioned oats
1 tbsp. unsweetened cocoa powder
1/8 tsp. cinnamon
1/8 tsp. salt
1 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk
1 - 2 no-calorie sweetener packets (like Truvia)
1/3 cup dark pitted sweet cherries (fresh or thawed from frozen and drained), chopped
1 tsp. mini semi-sweet chocolate chips
Optional: 2 drops almond extract
Directions:
In a nonstick pot, combine oats, cocoa powder, cinnamon, salt, and almond milk.
Mix in 1 cup water. If you like, add almond extract. Bring to a boil, and then reduce to a simmer.
Cook and stir until thick and creamy, 12 - 15 minutes.
Transfer to a medium bowl, and stir in sweetener. Let cool until thickened.
Top with cherries and chocolate chips.

HG Heads-Up: If using frozen cherries, make sure no sweetener has been added.
