How to Make Almond Rice Pudding With Dried Cherries

1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).
2. Lightly grease a 2-quart baking dish with cooking spray or butter.
3. In a large bowl, whisk together 3 cups almond milk, 1 teaspoon almond extract, 2 large eggs, ½ cup granulated sugar, ¼ teaspoon salt, 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted), and 1 tablespoon lemon juice.
4. Beat the mixture well until smooth and combined.
5. Stir in 1 cup uncooked Arborio rice and ½ cup dried cherries.
6. Stir gently to ensure the rice and cherries are evenly distributed throughout the pudding mixture.
7. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish.
8. Cover the baking dish with a lid or aluminum foil.
9. Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the pudding is set and the top is lightly golden brown. Check for doneness by inserting a knife into the center; it should come out clean.
10. Let the pudding cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm or chilled!
