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)
Topping
- 10 oz vanilla yogurt or plant-based yogurt (280g)
- 1 tsp cocoa powder (2g)
- Mix Ingredients: In a bowl or directly in your serving container, whisk together the chia seeds, milk, brewed coffee, protein powder, sweetener, and optional salt until well combined.
- Refrigerate to Thicken: Cover the mixture and refrigerate for at least three hours or overnight to allow the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and form a thick, gel-like pudding.
- Sweeten Yogurt: If using unsweetened yogurt, add sweetener to taste and stir well before serving.
- Assemble and Serve: When ready, top each serving of the chia pudding with the prepared vanilla yogurt and dust with cocoa powder for a tiramisu-inspired finish.
- Store Leftovers: Keep any leftover pudding covered in the refrigerator for up to four days to maintain freshness.
Notes
- Use strong brewed coffee or espresso for authentic tiramisu flavor.
- Choose your preferred type of milk and yogurt for dietary preferences or restrictions.
- The pudding thickens best if refrigerated overnight, but a minimum of three hours also works.
- Adjust the amount of sweetener based on your taste or dietary needs.
- For a vegan version, opt for plant-based milk, protein powder, and yogurt.
