4 tbsp hemp seeds (hulled)

1 tbsp lemon juice (freshly squeezed)

1 tsp vanilla extract

Chef's Notes

Substitutions
For the yogurt, use coconut, almond, cashew or soy.

Why miso?
Organic mellow white or chickpea miso gives an umami, cheese-like flavor. The amount in the recipe is perfect for a little cheesiness without the miso overpowering the cherries.

Storage
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Add more water as needed to reach the desired consistency.
