Tiramisu Chia Pudding
By Chloe MartinEnjoy a healthy twist on a classic with this easy tiramisu chia pudding. It has all the flavors of tiramisu and is the perfect breakfast that tastes like dessert!
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds
- ⅔ cup non-dairy yogurt (plain or vanilla; extra for topping)
- 1 shot (1 ounce or 2 tablespoons) espresso (see notes for substitutions)
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup (omit if using sweetened yogurt)
- ½ teaspoon cocoa powder (for dusting)
Instructions
- In a container or mason jar, add chia seeds, yogurt, espresso, and maple syrup. Stir until thoroughly combined. Let sit for about 5 minutes, then stir again to break up any clumps.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours (overnight is best). The chia seeds will absorb the liquid and turn into a thick, pudding-like consistency.
- Remove from the fridge and stir. Top with a layer of yogurt and a dusting of cocoa powder and serve.
Notes
Yogurt: If using plain yogurt, consider adding a splash of vanilla extract for extra flavor.
Espresso substitute: Mix 1 ½ teaspoons instant coffee or instant espresso with 2 tablespoons hot water, or use 2–3 tablespoons strong brewed coffee (decaf works too).
High-protein option: Stir in 3 tablespoons vegan vanilla protein powder and ¼ cup non-dairy milk. Because protein powder adds sweetness, you may want to reduce or omit the maple syrup to taste.
Storage: Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. Add the yogurt layer after the chia pudding has thickened and dust cocoa powder just before serving.
