Top tip

If you like a roasted flavour, try roasting the almond flakes in the oven at 160°C for about 5 minutes or until they turn golden brown. Keep a close eye on them so they do not get burnt. If fresh cherries are not available, you can opt for frozen ones. The preparation is the same, but you might need to adjust the water-to-cherry ratio as frozen fruits tend to have more moisture due to freezing.
