This Tiramisu-Chia Pudding is a healthy and delicious twist on the classic Italian dessert, combining the creamy texture of chia pudding with the rich flavors of espresso and cocoa. It’s a perfect make-ahead breakfast or snack that requires minimal effort and offers a satisfying treat with a boost of protein from Greek yogurt.

Ingredients

Chia Pudding Base

  • 6 tablespoons chia seeds
  • 1 ½ cups unsweetened almond milk
  • ¼ cup brewed espresso or strong coffee
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 pinch sea salt

Layering

  • 1 cup vanilla Greek yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon cocoa powder (for dusting)

Instructions

  1. Mix Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, whisk together chia seeds, unsweetened almond milk, brewed espresso, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt until fully combined.
  2. Set Pudding: Let the mixture sit for 10 minutes, then stir again to break up any chia seed clumps. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or preferably overnight to allow the pudding to thicken and set.
  3. Layer the Pudding: Once the chia pudding has set, spoon a layer into the bottom of serving jars or glasses.
  4. Add Greek Yogurt Layer: Spoon a layer of vanilla Greek yogurt on top of the chia pudding in the jars.
  5. Repeat Layers: Continue layering by adding another layer of chia pudding followed by Greek yogurt until the jars or glasses are filled.
  6. Dust with Cocoa: Using a small sieve or sifter, dust the top of the layered pudding with cocoa powder to mimic traditional tiramisu flavor.
  7. Chill and Serve: Place the prepared jars back into the refrigerator to chill until ready to serve. Enjoy this healthy tiramisu-inspired chia pudding cold.

Notes

  • For a stronger coffee flavor, use espresso instead of regular brewed coffee.
  • You can substitute maple syrup with honey or agave nectar if preferred.
  • Use dairy-free yogurt to make this recipe vegan.
  • Make sure to stir the chia seeds after the initial 10 minutes to prevent clumping.
  • This dessert keeps well refrigerated for up to 3 days.
