This Tiramisu Chia Pudding is a delightful twist on the classic Italian dessert, combining creamy Greek yogurt, rich espresso, and cocoa with the nutritious crunch of chia seeds. Easy to prepare and perfect for an indulgent yet healthy breakfast or snack, it requires minimal effort and chilling time to achieve a luscious, layered treat.

Ingredients

Chia Pudding

  • ¾ cup milk
  • ¾ cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup
  • ¼ cup espresso
  • ⅓ cup chia seeds
  • 4 tsp cocoa powder (or 2 tbsp chocolate protein powder)
  • Pinch of salt

Toppings

  • ¼ cup crushed graham crackers
  • ¾ cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup
  • Additional cocoa powder for dusting

Instructions

  1. Blend Ingredients: In a high-powered blender, combine the milk, plain Greek yogurt, maple syrup, espresso, chia seeds, cocoa powder, and a pinch of salt. Blend thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and well combined, ensuring the chia seeds are evenly distributed.
  2. Divide & Add Graham Crackers: Pour the blended chia pudding evenly into 4 small jars or serving containers. Sprinkle approximately 1 tablespoon of crushed graham crackers over each jar as a crunchy base layer. Set aside while preparing the topping.
  3. Prepare Yogurt Topping: In a separate bowl, mix the plain Greek yogurt with vanilla extract and maple syrup until smooth and creamy. Spoon about ¼ cup of this vanilla yogurt mixture onto the top of each chia pudding jar.
  4. Finish & Chill: Lightly dust the yogurt-topped puddings with additional cocoa powder to enhance the tiramisu flavor. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the pudding to thicken and flavors to meld, ideally overnight for the best texture and taste.

Notes

  • You can use vanilla-flavored Greek yogurt as a substitute for plain yogurt and vanilla extract for a sweeter topping.
  • The dessert tastes best when chilled overnight, allowing the chia seeds to fully absorb the liquids and the flavors to develop.
  • For a vegan variation, substitute dairy milk and Greek yogurt with plant-based alternatives and use maple syrup or agave as sweetener.
  • Freshly brewed espresso enhances the authentic tiramisu flavor, but strong coffee can be used as an alternative.
  • Adjust sweetness to taste by varying the amount of maple syrup.
