A healthy and delicious Tiramisu-inspired chia pudding that combines the rich flavors of espresso and cocoa with creamy Greek yogurt, sweetened naturally with maple syrup. This no-cook, layered dessert is perfect for an easy, make-ahead treat that’s both nutritious and indulgent.

Ingredients

Chia Pudding

  • 6 tablespoons chia seeds
  • 1 ½ cups unsweetened almond milk
  • ¼ cup brewed espresso or strong coffee
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 pinch sea salt

Layers and Topping

  • 1 cup vanilla Greek yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon cocoa powder (for dusting)

Instructions

  1. Mix Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, whisk together chia seeds, almond milk, brewed espresso, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt until well combined.
  2. Rest the Mixture: Let the mixture sit for 10 minutes, then stir again to break up any chia seed clumps. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow the pudding to thicken.
  3. Layer the Pudding: Once the chia pudding is set and thickened, spoon a layer into the bottom of jars or serving glasses.
  4. Add Greek Yogurt Layers: Add a layer of vanilla Greek yogurt over the chia pudding, then repeat layering chia pudding and yogurt until the containers are full.
  5. Dust with Cocoa Powder: Using a small sieve, dust the top layer generously with cocoa powder to mimic the classic tiramisu finish.
  6. Chill and Serve: Keep the assembled layers chilled until ready to serve. Enjoy this creamy, coffee-flavored dessert any time!

Notes

  • You can substitute dairy almond milk with other plant-based milks to suit dietary preferences.
  • For a stronger coffee flavor, use espresso instead of brewed coffee.
  • Maple syrup can be replaced with honey or agave nectar if preferred.
  • Allowing the pudding to chill overnight will yield the best texture.
  • Use full-fat Greek yogurt for a creamier consistency or low-fat for a lighter option.
