A delightful blend of creamy Greek yogurt and chia seeds that captures the classic flavors of tiramisu in a healthy dessert that's perfect for breakfast or snacking.
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 salt
For the topping
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 2 teaspoons maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Unsweetened cocoa powder for dusting
Instructions
Preparation
- Gather all ingredients for the pudding base. Measure the Greek yogurt, maple syrup, vanilla extract, milk, chia seeds, espresso powder, and a pinch of salt.
- 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.
- Divide the blended pudding evenly into four jars or containers. Smooth the tops slightly with a spoon.
- 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.
- Spoon the prepared topping evenly over each of the four pudding jars, creating a clean layer on top.
- Generously sprinkle unsweetened cocoa powder on top of each jar.
- Cover the jars and refrigerate for at least 2 hours. For best results, chill overnight.
- Serve straight from the jar. Optionally, stir gently to mix the cocoa into the pudding before eating.
