So, What Is Tiramisu Chia Pudding?
It’s everything you love about tiramisu: bold espresso flavor, rich cocoa, a creamy texture, and a hint of vanilla – but with a healthy twist. We’re talking:
- Protein-packed chia seeds
- Milk (or your fave plant -based kind)
- A touch of natural sweetener
- And a layer of yogurt topping
Whether you’re gluten-free, dairy-free, or just into breakfast that tastes like dessert, this is your jam.
Why You’ll Love Tiramisu Chia Pudding
- Make-Ahead Friendly: Meal prep it on Sunday, eat like a queen (or king) all week.
- Naturally Sweetened: Honey, maple syrup, or your fave alternative.
- Customizable: Add protein powder, layer in crushed cookies (hello ladyfinger vibes), or top with dark chocolate shavings.
How to Make It:
It’s ridiculously easy. Here’s the basic rundown:
- Brew espresso or strong coffee. Let it cool. Don’t like coffee? I use Dandy Blend Instant Herbal Beverage for a coffee flavor without any caffeine.
- Mix yogurt, milk, coffee, maple syrup, cocoa powder, cinnamon, and chia seeds in a bowl.
- Stir, chill, and let the magic happen. After a few hours (or overnight), you’ve got a thick, luscious pudding.
- Layer it up: Add a layer of greek yogurt (dairy or coconut), a dusting of cocoa powder, and maybe even a sprinkle of espresso powder for that fancy finish.
Pro Tips:
- Use a mason jar or cute glass for the Instagram aesthetic.
- Let it sit overnight for the best texture.
- Want it extra creamy? Stir mixture after letting it rest for 10 minutes.
Tiramisu chia pudding is the perfect balance of indulgent and nourishing. Whether you’re treating yourself to a fancy breakfast, a midday pick-me-up, or a guilt-free dessert, this one’s a keeper. Trust me—your future self will thank you.
