  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt A vital enhancer for balancing flavors.
  • 1 cup Milk For a dairy-free option, use almond or any non-dairy milk.

  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract Almond extract is a lovely substitute.
  • 2 cups Fresh Cherries Use frozen for convenience, but remember to thaw!
For the Topping
  • 1/4 cup Brown Sugar Adds rich sweetness; granulated sugar can be used in a pinch.
