Description
All the espresso-soaked charm of tiramisu—reimagined as a nourishing, refined-sugar-free chia pudding. Thick Greek yogurt (or dairy-free), strong coffee, and fiber-rich chia seeds create a creamy, coffee-forward breakfast that feels like dessert but fuels like a pro.
Ingredients
Units
Scale
Base
- 2 tbsp chia seeds (black or white)
- 3/4 cup plain Greek yogurt (use thick dairy-free yogurt for vegan option)
- 1/2 cup brewed coffee (strong brew or chilled espresso)
- 1.5-2 tbsp maple syrup (to taste)
- 1 pinch sea salt (enhances coffee & cocoa notes)
- 1 dash cinnamon (optional, adds warmth)
Finish
- cocoa powder (unsweetened, for dusting)
Instructions
- Combine: In a jar or bowl, add chia seeds, yogurt, coffee, maple syrup, sea salt, and cinnamon (if using). If coffee is hot, let it cool first.
- Mix Well: Seal and shake 15–20 seconds (or whisk). Rest 5 minutes, then stir again to redistribute seeds and prevent clumps.
- Chill: Refrigerate at least 4 hours or overnight until thick and creamy as seeds absorb the liquid.
- Finish & Serve: Check consistency; add a splash of coffee or milk if too thick. Dust generously with unsweetened cocoa powder. Enjoy cold.
Notes
For extra indulgence, top with a spoonful of yogurt or coconut whipped cream before dusting with cocoa. Meal-prep friendly—scale up and refrigerate in individual jars for 3–4 days.
