A delightful and healthy twist on the classic Italian dessert tiramisu, this Tiramisu-Chia Pudding combines the rich flavors of espresso and cocoa with the nutritious texture of chia seeds soaked in almond milk, layered with creamy vanilla Greek yogurt for a guilt-free indulgence.

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, almond milk, espresso, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt until well combined.
  2. Soothe the Seeds: Let the mixture sit for 10 minutes, then stir again thoroughly to break up any clumps that may have formed. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow the chia seeds to fully absorb the liquid and develop a pudding-like consistency.
  3. Layer the Pudding: Once set, begin by spooning a layer of chia pudding into the bottom of clean jars or glasses. Follow this with a layer of creamy vanilla Greek yogurt. Repeat these layers alternating chia pudding and yogurt until the containers are full.
  4. Dust with Cocoa: Using a small sieve, dust the top layer generously with cocoa powder to mimic tiramisu’s signature finish.
  5. Chill and Serve: Place the layered jars in the refrigerator to chill until ready to serve. Enjoy this nutritious and refreshing tiramisu-inspired chia pudding dessert!
