Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/4 cup chia seeds
  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or dairy-free milk for Vegan Tiramisu Alternative)
  • 1/4 cup strong brewed coffee, cooled
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup (or sweetener of choice for Keto Tiramisu Chia)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • For Topping: 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
  • For Topping: 1 tablespoon strong brewed coffee, cooled

Instructions

  1. In a jar or container, combine the chia seeds, almond milk, 1/4 cup cooled coffee, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt.
  2. Stir the mixture well for about one minute to prevent the chia seeds from clumping at the bottom.
  3. Cover the container and place it in the refrigerator to soak for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, until the mixture thickens into a pudding consistency. This creates your Overnight Chia Pudding base.
  4. When ready to serve, prepare the coffee soak: Mix the remaining 1 tablespoon of cooled coffee with 1 teaspoon of maple syrup if desired.
  5. In a small bowl, whisk the cocoa powder with 1 teaspoon of water or milk until a smooth paste forms.
  6. To assemble your Healthy Layered Dessert, spoon half of the chia pudding into a serving glass.
  7. Drizzle half of the coffee soak over the pudding layer.
  8. Top with half of the cocoa mixture, spreading it gently.
  9. Repeat the layers: remaining chia pudding, remaining coffee soak, and remaining cocoa mixture.
  10. Serve immediately as an Easy Dessert Parfait or chill for up to 2 more days.

Notes

  • For a richer coffee flavor, use espresso instead of brewed coffee.
  • If the pudding is too thick the next morning, stir in a splash more milk until you reach your preferred texture.
  • This recipe is naturally Gluten Free Dessert and Dairy Free Tiramisu friendly.
