Ingredients

Scale

Chia Pudding Base

  • 1 cup milk of choice (240g)
  • 1/4 cup chia seeds (45g)
  • 3 tbsp strong brewed coffee or espresso (45g)
  • 3 tbsp vanilla protein powder (21g)
  • 1 1/2 tbsp sweetener of choice (22g)
  • 1/8 tsp salt (optional)

Toppings

  • 10 oz vanilla yogurt or plant-based yogurt (280g)
  • 1 tsp cocoa powder (2g)

Instructions

  1. Mix the Chia Pudding Ingredients: In a serving container or a bowl, whisk together the chia seeds, milk, brewed coffee, sweetener, optional salt, and vanilla protein powder until fully combined.
  2. Refrigerate Until Set: Cover the mixture and refrigerate for at least three hours or overnight to allow the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and thicken into a gel-like pudding.
  3. Prepare Yogurt Topping: If you’re using unsweetened yogurt, add sweetener to taste and stir well.
  4. Assemble the Tiramisu Chia Pudding: When ready to serve, layer or top each portion of chia pudding with a generous amount of the vanilla yogurt.
  5. Add Cocoa Powder Dusting: Finish by dusting each serving with cocoa powder for that classic tiramisu flavor.
  6. Store Leftovers: Keep any leftovers refrigerated in a covered container for up to four days.

Notes

  • Use brewed espresso for a more intense coffee flavor.
  • The recipe is easily customizable with different types of milk and yogurt to suit dietary preferences.
  • Adjust the sweetness according to your taste, especially if using sweetened or unsweetened yogurt.
  • For vegan or dairy-free options, choose plant-based milk and yogurt.
  • Ensure chia seeds are evenly mixed to prevent clumping.
  • Can be prepared the night before for a quick grab-and-go breakfast.
