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)
Yogurt Topping
- 10 oz vanilla yogurt or plant-based yogurt (280g)
- 1 tsp cocoa powder (2g)
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a bowl or directly in serving containers, whisk together the milk, chia seeds, brewed coffee, vanilla protein powder, sweetener, and optional salt until fully combined.
- Refrigerate Pudding: Cover the mixture and refrigerate for at least three hours or overnight, allowing the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and form a thick, gelled pudding.
- Prepare Yogurt: If using unsweetened yogurt, add sweetener to taste and mix well to create the topping.
- Assemble & Serve: Once the pudding is set, top each portion with the prepared vanilla yogurt and dust with cocoa powder for the classic tiramisu flavor.
- Store Leftovers: Store any leftovers in a covered container in the refrigerator for up to four days to maintain freshness.
Notes
- Use strong brewed coffee or espresso for the most authentic tiramisu flavor.
- Adjust sweetener amount based on your preference and the type of yogurt used.
- For a dairy-free version, substitute milk and yogurt with plant-based alternatives.
- Protein powder adds creaminess and boosts protein content, but can be omitted if preferred.
- Chilling time is critical for the chia seeds to fully absorb the liquids and thicken the pudding.
