Description
A creamy, high-protein chia pudding with the classic flavors of tiramisu—espresso, vanilla, and cocoa. Made with Greek yogurt, it’s a healthy make-ahead breakfast or dessert.
Ingredients
Scale
2 cups plain Greek yogurt
2 tablespoons maple syrup
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup milk of your choice (dairy or plant-based)
½ cup chia seeds
1.5 tablespoons instant espresso powder
A pinch of salt
1 cup plain Greek yogurt (for topping)
2 teaspoons maple syrup (for topping)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract (for topping)
Unsweetened cocoa powder for dusting
Instructions
- Prepare your ingredients: Gather all ingredients for the pudding base.
- Blend the base: Place all pudding-base ingredients into a high-speed blender. Blend on medium-high for about 60 seconds until smooth.
- Portion the pudding: Divide the blended mixture evenly into four jars.
- Prepare the topping: In a separate bowl, combine 1 cup Greek yogurt, 2 tsp maple syrup, and 1 tsp vanilla. Whisk until smooth.
- Layer the topping: Spoon the topping evenly over each pudding jar.
- Dust with cocoa powder: Generously sprinkle unsweetened cocoa powder on top.
- Chill to set: Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight.
- Serve and enjoy: Serve chilled. Optionally stir gently before eating.
Notes
- For a stronger coffee flavor, use 2 tablespoons of espresso powder.
- The pudding thickens significantly upon chilling. For best results, prepare it the night before.
- You can use any milk—dairy, almond, oat, or soy—without affecting the final texture.
- If you don’t have a high-speed blender, you can whisk vigorously by hand, but the texture will be grainier.
