Description
A creamy, high-protein dessert that mimics the flavors of tiramisu, made easy by just stirring ingredients together and chilling overnight.
Ingredients
For the Chia Pudding
- 3 tablespoons Chia seeds (These do the thickening.)
- 3/4 cup Milk of choice (dairy or almond) (Both options work well.)
- 1/3 cup Greek yogurt or skyr (For higher protein.)
- 2-3 tablespoons Espresso or strong coffee, cooled (Adds flavor.)
- 1 tablespoon Cocoa powder (For dusting before serving.)
- 1 tablespoon Maple syrup or honey (Optional sweetener.)
- 1 pinch Salt (Enhances flavor.)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract (For flavor.)
Instructions
Preparation
- In a jar or bowl, stir together the chia seeds, milk, yogurt, coffee, salt, and vanilla. Sweeten with maple syrup or honey if desired.
- Mix vigorously for a minute, then let sit for 5 minutes and mix again to prevent clumping.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 3 hours, preferably overnight.
Serving
- Before serving, dust the top with cocoa powder and add a spoonful of yogurt for a creamy layer.
- For added texture, crush ladyfingers or graham crackers and sprinkle on top right before serving.
Notes
If you want to keep it higher protein, you can fold in a scoop of vanilla protein powder slowly into the mixture. Adjust the liquid to prevent a soggy texture.
