Chia seeds enrich the pudding with nutrients, while layers of coffee and cocoa mimic the beloved tiramisu. Prepare it ahead, and let the flavors meld in your fridge. This treat is as easy to make as it is to enjoy.

With just a few ingredients, you can turn an ordinary day into something special. Who knew dessert could be this good for you?

Preparing The Ingredients

To make tiramisu chia seed pudding, you’ll need a few simple ingredients. Start with chia seeds. You’ll need about half a cup. These seeds will create the pudding’s texture.

Next, grab some milk. Regular, almond, or coconut milk all work well. You’ll need about two cups.

Espresso or strong coffee is a must. Brew it fresh. You’ll need around a quarter cup. This gives the pudding its tiramisu flavor.

Sweeten the taste with one or two tablespoons of maple syrup or honey. Adjust according to your preference.

Add some vanilla extract, about a teaspoon. This enhances the flavor.

Finally, get some cocoa powder. Use a tablespoon for dusting later.

Make sure everything is fresh and ready before you begin. It makes the mixing process smoother and faster. This way, you’ll get to the delicious part of making the pudding without missing a beat.

Serving Suggestions

• Tiramisu chia seed pudding is a delightful treat that can be enjoyed in many ways. Think about adding a dusting of cocoa powder on top. It gives a rich flavor and adds a bit of contrast to the creamy texture.
• Serve it in a clear glass jar or bowl for a cute and fun presentation. You get to see all the layers, which makes it more inviting. If you like fruit, add some fresh berries on top for a pop of color and freshness.
• A small dollop of whipped cream can make it extra decadent. It adds a creamy touch, especially if you’re serving it as a dessert at a dinner party. For added crunch, sprinkle some chopped nuts, like almonds or hazelnuts.
• Pair your pudding with a hot espresso or cappuccino. The flavors go well together and make for a tasty treat. If you’re serving it for breakfast, try it with a side of yogurt and a slice of whole-grain toast.
• Decorate with a mint leaf or two for a fresh look. It doesn’t just look nice but also adds a hint of minty flavor, making each bite even more refreshing. Enjoy exploring these suggestions!

Storage Tips

• Keep your pudding in an airtight container. This will block out any unwanted flavors from the fridge.
• Store it in the refrigerator. The pudding should be good for about 3 to 5 days, but it’s best to enjoy it sooner.
• When you’re ready to eat, give it a good stir. The chia seeds can settle, and a quick mix will fix that.
• If you want to make the pudding last longer, consider freezing it. Use smaller containers or jars for easy portioning. Just thaw in the fridge when you’re ready for a treat.
• Remember, keep it cold and covered, and you’ll have a tasty snack ready to go!
