Description
Tiramisu Chia Pudding is a creamy, coffee-infused make-ahead breakfast that tastes like Italian dessert.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1/4 cup chia seeds
- 1 cup milk of choice (almond, oat, soy, coconut, or dairy)
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup, honey, or preferred sweetener
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional but recommended)
- 1/4 cup strong brewed coffee or 1 teaspoon instant coffee dissolved in 1/4 cup hot water, cooled
- 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt or dairy-free yogurt
- Unsweetened cocoa powder for dusting
- Chocolate shavings or cacao nibs
- Extra yogurt for additional layering
Instructions
- Mix the Liquid Base: In a medium bowl, whisk together your milk, cooled coffee, sweetener, and vanilla extract until everything is completely combined.
- Add Chia Seeds: Stir in the chia seeds thoroughly, making sure they’re evenly distributed throughout the liquid.
- Rest & Stir Again: Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes, then stir it vigorously again.
- Chill to Set: Cover your bowl with plastic wrap or transfer to an airtight container. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
- Layer the Pudding: Once thick and gel-like, spoon half of the chia pudding into serving jars. Add a layer of Greek yogurt on top.
- Repeat Layers: Add the remaining chia pudding on top of the yogurt layer, then finish with another dollop of yogurt.
- Finish with Cocoa Powder: Dust the top generously with unsweetened cocoa powder before serving.
