This Tiramisu Chia Pudding is a delightful, healthy twist on the classic Italian dessert, combining creamy chia seeds soaked in milk, coffee, and protein powder, topped with smooth vanilla yogurt and a dusting of cocoa powder. It’s a quick and nutritious make-ahead breakfast or snack with rich coffee flavor and a satisfying texture.

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

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a bowl or directly in your serving container, whisk together the milk, chia seeds, brewed coffee, sweetener, protein powder, and optional salt until well mixed.
  2. Refrigerate: Cover the mixture and refrigerate for at least three hours or overnight. This allows the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and form a thick, pudding-like texture.
  3. Prepare Yogurt: If using unsweetened yogurt, sweeten it to your taste while the chia pudding sets.
  4. Assemble and Serve: Once the pudding has thickened, layer or top each serving with a generous spoonful of vanilla yogurt. Finish by dusting a teaspoon of cocoa powder over each portion for a rich finish.
  5. Store Leftovers: Keep any remaining pudding refrigerated in a covered container for up to four days to maintain freshness.

Notes

  • Use strong brewed coffee or espresso for the best tiramisu flavor.
  • Adjust sweetness based on your preference or type of protein powder used.
  • This pudding can be made vegan by using plant-based milk, protein powder, and yogurt alternatives.
  • For best texture, allow chia pudding to set overnight in the fridge.
  • Add a splash of vanilla extract for an extra layer of flavor if desired.
