Recently, cherries are available everywhere as they are now in season and the prices are so affordable. I usually buy a bunch of them, pit them and then freeze them. This way, they are easily ready when I want to make some cherry nice cream. True, Nice cream is undeniably delicious and comforting. Yet, sometimes I just crave for some warm pre-workout fuel. Therefore, I created this recipe of black forest cherry coconut porridge. And one thing I love cooking porridge is that I can add whatever flavours I like to make them taste like different kinds of dessert, such as berry coconut cake, mocha etc. To me, it’s just a much simpler way to make desserts without all those preparation and waiting time 🤣✌🏻

- Add 1/4 of water to the mixture if it is too dry. Mix well and bring to another boil. (water will be released from the zucchini once you added them to the pot, so don’t worry too much when you see the mixture being a bit on dry side)
- Turn to low heat and add the apple chunks and shredded zucchini to the pot.
