These adorable Chocolate Covered Cherry Pudding cups use carob instead of cocoa for a delicious treat that’s autoimmune protocol, Paleo, dairy free, tree-nut free, and gluten free! If you have food allergies, you’re probably as excited for this dish as I was. If you don’t have food allergies, first of all what’s your secret, and second of all don’t let all those “healthy labels” put you off. This one is a crowd pleaser, assuming everyone likes cherries, anyway! Frozen cherries work if fresh ones can’t be had where you live. It can also be made with cocoa instead of carob for those of you that don’t have an issue with chocolate. Enjoy!
