How to Make Tiramisu Chia Pudding With Greek Yogurt
Ingredients:
For the pudding base:
- 2 cups plain Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup milk of your choice (dairy or plant-based)
- ½ cup chia seeds
- 1.5 tablespoons instant espresso powder
- A pinch of salt
For the topping:
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 2 teaspoons maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Unsweetened cocoa powder for dusting
Directions:
Prepare your ingredients: Gather all ingredients for the pudding base. Measure Greek yogurt, maple syrup, vanilla extract, milk, chia seeds, espresso powder, and a pinch of salt.
Blend the base: Place all pudding-base ingredients into a high-speed blender. Blend on medium-high for about 60 seconds, scraping down the sides occasionally, until the mixture is smooth and mousse-like.
Portion the pudding: Divide the blended pudding evenly into four jars or containers. Smooth the tops slightly with a spoon. The chia will continue to thicken as it chills.
Prepare the topping: In a separate small bowl, combine 1 cup Greek yogurt, 2 teaspoons maple syrup, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth and slightly airy.
Layer the topping: Spoon the prepared topping evenly over each of the four pudding jars. Smooth with the back of a spoon or spatula.
Dust with cocoa powder: Generously sprinkle unsweetened cocoa powder on top of each jar to mimic the classic tiramisu finish.
Chill to set: Cover the jars and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or ideally overnight. The pudding will thicken further and the flavors will blend beautifully.
Serve and enjoy: Serve straight from the jar. Optionally, stir gently to mix the cocoa into the pudding before eating.
