Introduction

This Viral Tiramisu Chia Pudding is a delicious, easy-to-make twist on the classic Italian dessert. It’s creamy, coffee-infused, and perfectly sweetened, making it a great healthy treat for any time of day.

A small clear glass bowl filled with two visible layers: the bottom layer is creamy white with small black chia seeds evenly mixed throughout, giving it a speckled look, and the top layer is a thin, smooth dusting of rich brown cocoa powder that slightly clings to the rim. The bowl is placed on a white marbled surface with soft natural light highlighting the textures and colors. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

2 tbsp chia seeds
3/4 cup plain Greek yogurt (or thick dairy free yogurt)
1/2 cup brewed coffee
1/5–2 tbsp maple syrup (or liquid sweetener)
1 pinch sea salt
1 shake cinnamon (or as much as you like)
Optional: cocoa powder for topping when ready to serve

Instructions

Step 1: Add all ingredients except cocoa powder to a small jar.
Step 2: Place the lid on the jar and shake well until everything is thoroughly combined.
Step 3: Set the jar in the fridge overnight to allow the chia seeds to soak and thicken the mixture.
Step 4: When ready to serve, sprinkle cocoa powder on top if desired and enjoy your tiramisu chia pudding.

Tips & Variations

Use cold brew coffee instead of regular brewed coffee for a smoother, less bitter flavor.
Adjust the maple syrup sweetness to your taste, starting with less and adding more if needed.
For a vegan version, use a dairy-free yogurt and ensure your sweetener is vegan-friendly.
Add a touch of vanilla extract for extra depth of flavor.

Storage

Store the chia pudding in a sealed jar or container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Stir gently before serving again. This pudding can be eaten cold straight from the fridge and does not require reheating.

How to Serve

A clear glass jar filled with a two-layer dessert is held by a woman's hand wearing a gold ring. The bottom layer is a creamy beige mixture with tiny dark specks, having a thick and smooth texture. The top layer is a fine, dark brown powder dusted evenly over the cream. A silver spoon lifts a scoop from the jar, showing the cocoa powder layer sitting right on top of the creamy mixture. The background is a white marbled surface. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Scale

Chia Pudding Base

2 tbsp chia seeds
3/4 cup plain Greek yogurt (or thick dairy free yogurt)
1/2 cup brewed coffee
1 1/2–2 tbsp maple syrup (or liquid sweetener)
1 pinch sea salt
1 shake cinnamon (or as much as you like)

Toppings

Optional: cocoa powder for topping when ready to serve

Instructions

Combine Ingredients: Add the chia seeds, Greek yogurt, brewed coffee, maple syrup, sea salt, and cinnamon into a small jar. Ensure all ingredients are measured accurately for the best flavor balance.
Mix Thoroughly: Place the lid on the jar securely and shake vigorously until all the ingredients are well combined, ensuring the chia seeds are evenly distributed and coated.
Refrigerate Overnight: Set the jar in the fridge and let it sit overnight (or for at least 6 hours) so the chia seeds can absorb the liquid and swell, creating a pudding-like texture.
Serve: When ready to eat, open the jar and sprinkle cocoa powder on top for an authentic tiramisu finish. Enjoy chilled for a refreshing and creamy treat.

Notes

You can substitute the brewed coffee with decaf if caffeine sensitivity is a concern.
Adjust sweetness by adding more or less maple syrup to taste.
If using dairy-free yogurt, choose a thick variety to maintain the pudding’s texture.
This pudding can be stored in the fridge for up to 2 days for optimal freshness.
Add a splash of vanilla extract for additional flavor variation if desired.
