Ingredients
For the Chia Pudding
-
Milk: The base of this pudding, giving it a creamy texture. You can use dairy, almond, oat, coconut, or soy milk.

Coffee: Infuses the pudding with a rich coffee flavor. Instant coffee works best, but you can also use cooled brewed coffee.
-
Chia seeds: The key ingredient, packed with fiber and omega-3s, which help thicken the pudding.
-
Sweetener: Maple syrup naturally sweetens the pudding and balances the bold coffee taste. You can also use agave nectar or honey.
-
Vanilla extract: Enhances the flavor with a subtle sweetness.
For the Cream Layer:
-
Yogurt: Adds protein and a creamy, tangy contrast. Use Greek yogurt or swap it with coconut yogurt for a dairy-free version.
-
Maple syrup: Lightly sweetens the yogurt layer (optional).
-
Vanilla extract: Adds warmth and enhances the dessert-like flavor.
For Garnish
- Unsweetened cocoa powder: A must for the classic tiramisu finish.

Serving Suggestions
This pudding tastes great as is for breakfast. For a more filling meal, pair it with granola and coffee. For dessert, layer it in small cups for a fancy, guilt-free treat.

Storage Suggestions
Tiramisu chia pudding stays fresh in an airtight container in the fridge for 3–4 days, making it perfect for meal prep.
For the best taste, layer it just before serving or a few hours in advance.
Tips and Tricks to Make the Best Tiramisu Chia Pudding
1. Mixing: Stir the chia mixture once, let it sit for 5 minutes, then stir again to prevent clumping.
2. Coffee Flavor: For a strong coffee taste, use 1 tablespoon. For a milder version, use 1–2 teaspoons or brewed coffee.
- Sweetness: Adjust maple syrup to taste or use a sugar-free sweetener.
4. Chilling: Let it sit for at least 4 hours or overnight for the best consistency.
