  • Total Time: 4 hours 10 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Pudding Ingredients

  • 2 cups plain Greek yogurt
  • 2 Tbsp maple syrup
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup milk of choice
  • ½ cup chia seeds
  • 1½ Tbsp instant espresso powder
  • Pinch of salt

Topping Ingredients

  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 2 tsp maple syrup
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Unsweetened cocoa powder, for dusting

Instructions

  1. Blend Pudding Base: Add 2 cups Greek yogurt, 2 Tbsp maple syrup, 1 tsp vanilla extract, 1 cup milk, ½ cup chia seeds, 1½ Tbsp instant espresso powder, and a pinch of salt into a blender. Blend for about 60 seconds until completely smooth, stopping to scrape down the sides if necessary to ensure even mixing.
  2. Divide Mixture: Pour the blended chia pudding evenly into 4 sealable jars or containers. Alternatively, store the mixture in a single large container if preferred.
  3. Prepare Topping: In a small bowl, whisk together 1 cup Greek yogurt, 2 tsp maple syrup, and 1 tsp vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
  4. Add Topping & Dust with Cocoa: Spoon the yogurt topping evenly over each pudding serving and smooth it out with the back of a spoon. Generously dust the tops with unsweetened cocoa powder to mimic the tiramisu finish. If storing in a large container, add the yogurt topping and cocoa just before serving.
  5. Chill: Refrigerate the jars or container for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and the pudding to set.

Notes

  • Use any milk of choice such as almond, cow’s, oat, or soy milk depending on dietary preferences.
  • The instant espresso powder adds the classic tiramisu flavor, but can be omitted for a milder taste.
  • For a thicker pudding, increase chia seeds slightly or decrease milk.
  • Maple syrup can be substituted with honey or agave syrup.
  • This pudding is best served chilled and consumed within 3-4 days.
  • Seal containers well when storing to maintain freshness.
