Ingredients
Chia Pudding
- 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
- Mix Chia Pudding Base: In a bowl or directly in serving containers, whisk together the milk, chia seeds, brewed coffee or espresso, vanilla protein powder, sweetener, and salt (if using) until fully combined.
- Refrigerate: Cover the mixture and refrigerate for at least three hours or overnight until it thickens and gels to a pudding-like consistency.
- Sweeten Yogurt: While the pudding sets, sweeten the vanilla or plant-based yogurt if it is unsweetened, adjusting to your taste.
- Assemble & Serve: Once the chia pudding is set, top each portion with a generous layer of yogurt, then dust with cocoa powder to mimic the classic tiramisu finish.
- Store Leftovers: Place any leftover pudding in a covered container and refrigerate for up to four days to maintain freshness.
Notes
- Use any milk you prefer including dairy, almond, soy, or oat milk depending on your dietary needs.
- Adjust the sweetness level by varying the amount or type of sweetener to your preference.
- For a stronger coffee flavor, use espresso or chilled cold brew coffee.
- Plant-based yogurt can be used to make this recipe vegan-friendly.
- This pudding thickens as it chills, so give it enough time to set properly for the best texture.
