Viral Tiramisu Chia Pudding Recipe

Introduction

This Viral Tiramisu Chia Pudding offers a deliciously creamy and caffeinated twist on the classic dessert. Combining chia seeds with Greek yogurt and brewed coffee creates a healthy, indulgent breakfast or snack that’s easy to prepare and naturally sweetened.

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

1. Step 1: Add chia seeds, Greek yogurt, brewed coffee, maple syrup, sea salt, and cinnamon to a small jar or container. Measure all ingredients carefully before mixing.
2. Step 2: Secure the lid tightly and shake the jar vigorously until the ingredients are well combined and the chia seeds start absorbing the liquid evenly.
3. Step 3: Refrigerate the jar for at least 6 to 8 hours or overnight. This allows the chia seeds to swell and form a thick, pudding-like consistency.
4. Step 4: When ready to serve, remove from the fridge and sprinkle cocoa powder on top for a tiramisu-inspired touch. Enjoy immediately for the best texture and flavor.

Tips & Variations

• Customize your pudding by adding fresh fruits, chopped nuts, or a spoonful of nut butter for extra flavor and nutrition.
• Adjust the sweetness to your preference by varying the amount of maple syrup or using honey or agave nectar instead.
• For a caffeine-free version, substitute brewed coffee with brewed chicory or decaf coffee.

Storage

Store the chia pudding in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Stir well before serving and add fresh toppings if desired. Reheat is not recommended as it affects the texture, but you can enjoy it chilled or at room temperature.

How to Serve

Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.

FAQs

Can I use instant coffee instead of brewed coffee?

Is it necessary to use Greek yogurt?

Greek yogurt provides a creamy texture and protein, but you can substitute it with any thick yogurt, including dairy-free options, to suit your dietary needs.

Chia Pudding Base

• 2 tbsp chia seeds
• 3/4 cup plain Greek yogurt (or thick dairy free yogurt)
• 1/2 cup brewed coffee
• 1 to 2 tbsp maple syrup (or liquid sweetener)
• 1 pinch sea salt
• 1 shake cinnamon (or to taste)

Toppings (Optional)

• Cocoa powder for dusting
• Optional fruits, nuts, or nut butters as desired

Instructions

1. Combine Ingredients: Add chia seeds, Greek yogurt, brewed coffee, maple syrup, sea salt, and cinnamon into a small jar or container. Make sure all ingredients are measured accurately and ready to mix.
2. Shake to Mix: Secure the lid tightly on the jar and shake vigorously. This ensures all ingredients are well combined and the chia seeds start to absorb the liquid evenly.
3. Refrigerate Overnight: Place the jar in the refrigerator and let it chill for at least 6-8 hours or overnight. This allows the chia seeds to soak up the liquid and develop a thick, pudding-like consistency.
4. Serve with Topping: When ready to eat, remove the jar from the fridge and sprinkle cocoa powder on top for a tiramisu-inspired finish. Optionally, add any fruits, nuts, or nut butters for added flavor and nutrition.

Notes

• You can substitute dairy yogurt with a thick dairy-free yogurt for a vegan version.
• Adjust sweetness to your taste by varying the amount of maple syrup or using a different liquid sweetener.
• Using freshly brewed coffee is recommended for the best flavor.
• For a richer tiramisu flavor, try adding a drop of vanilla or a small amount of coffee liqueur (for non-vegans).
• Make sure the jar lid is securely fastened before shaking to avoid spills.
• Chia pudding can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days.
