Tiramisu Chia Pudding
This creamy tiramisu chia pudding combines coffee, cocoa, and yogurt for a balanced high protein breakfast or snack that feels like dessert.
Servings: 1
Ingredients
Chia pudding ingredients:
- 1/3 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon instant coffee or espresso
- 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds
- 1/2 scoop vanilla protein powder (I use Clean Simple Eats)
- 1/2 tablespoon maple syrup (more if omitting protein powder)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Topping Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon mascarpone cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon maple syrup
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Cocoa powder for dusting
Instructions
- Add the milk and instant coffee to a 16-ounce jar. Mix well until instant coffee is dissolved.
- Add the Greek yogurt, chia seeds, protein powder, maple syrup, and vanilla. Mix until completely combined.
- Cover and transfer to the fridge and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
- In a small bowl, mix together the Greek yogurt, mascarpone cheese, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined. Refrigerate the topping until right before serving.
- Just before serving, top the chia pudding with the topping and dust with the cocoa powder.
Notes
- Let it fully set. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, but overnight gives the best texture.
- Adjust the coffee to taste. You can start small (1/2 teaspoon) and increase if desired.
- Add topping and cocoa just before serving. This keeps the layers distinct and prevents the topping from sinking into the pudding.
- Adjust sweetness as needed. If skipping the protein powder, you may want to add a little more maple syrup.
