Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup milk of your choice (almond, oat, coconut, or dairy – 240g)
- ¼ cup chia seeds (45g)
- 3 tablespoons strong brewed coffee or espresso (45g)
- 3 tablespoons vanilla protein powder (21g)
- 1½ tablespoons sweetener of choice – maple syrup, honey, or sugar-free (22g)
- A pinch of salt (optional, about ⅛ teaspoon)
- 10 ounces vanilla or plant-based yogurt (280g)
- 1 teaspoon cocoa powder for dusting (2g)
Instructions
- Mix it all together.
- In a medium bowl or jar, stir together the milk, chia seeds, brewed coffee, sweetener, salt (if using), and protein powder. Whisk until everything is evenly combined and no clumps of chia remain.
- Let it chill.
- Cover your container and refrigerate for at least 3 hours, or even better, overnight. As it rests, the chia seeds will soak up the liquid and transform into a thick, creamy pudding.
- Prepare your topping.
- If your yogurt isn’t sweetened, add a drizzle of your favorite sweetener and give it a quick stir. This will balance the deep coffee flavor beautifully.
- Assemble and serve.
- When the chia mixture is thickened to pudding consistency, spoon it into individual glasses or bowls. Top each serving with a generous layer of yogurt, then finish with a dusting of cocoa powder for that signature tiramisu touch.
- Store and enjoy later.
- Any leftovers can be kept in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days — it makes the perfect grab-and-go breakfast or late-night treat.
Notes
This tiramisu chia pudding is light yet satisfying, healthy yet indulgent, and ridiculously easy to make. It’s your ticket to a dessert that feels luxurious but still fits into your day with zero guilt attached.
