Ingredients
Scale
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
- Mix Ingredients: In a bowl or serving container, whisk together the chia seeds, milk, brewed coffee, vanilla protein powder, sweetener, and optional salt until fully combined.
- Refrigerate to Set: Cover and refrigerate the mixture for at least three hours or overnight to allow the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and form a thick, gel-like pudding.
- Prepare Yogurt: If using unsweetened yogurt, sweeten it according to your taste preferences before serving.
- Assemble: When ready to eat, spoon the set chia pudding into serving dishes if not already portioned, then top each with a generous layer of the sweetened vanilla yogurt.
- Finish with Cocoa: Dust each serving with cocoa powder to mimic the classic tiramisu flavor and serve chilled.
- Store Leftovers: Keep any leftover pudding covered in the refrigerator for up to four days for freshness.
Notes
- You can use any type of milk, including dairy or plant-based alternatives like almond, soy, or oat milk.
- Adjust the sweetness to your preference by modifying the amount or type of sweetener used.
- Strong brewed coffee or espresso gives the pudding a robust tiramisu flavor; decaf can be used if preferred.
- For a vegan version, choose plant-based yogurt and milk, and ensure the protein powder is vegan.
- Allowing the pudding to chill overnight will improve texture and flavor infusion.
