This Tiramisu Chia Pudding is a rich, protein-packed, and dairy-free twist on the classic Italian dessert. Combining chia seeds soaked in almond milk and espresso with a plant-based vanilla protein powder, it provides a textured and satisfying pudding base. Topped with creamy low sugar vanilla yogurt and a dusting of cocoa powder, this recipe offers a delicious, nutritious, and convenient make-ahead treat perfect for breakfast or dessert.

  • Total Time: 2 hours 5 minutes
  • Yield: 1 serving

Ingredients

Chia Pudding Base

  • 2 Tablespoons chia seeds
  • ½ cup unsweetened almond milk
  • ½ scoop (14.5 grams) plant-based vanilla protein powder (e.g., Truvani)
  • 1 shot (1.5 oz) espresso

Toppings

  • 5.3 oz container vanilla low sugar Siggi’s yogurt (or 150 grams of your favorite low sugar vanilla yogurt)
  • Cocoa powder, for dusting on top

Instructions

  1. Mix Ingredients: In a small bowl or container, combine the chia seeds, unsweetened almond milk, plant-based vanilla protein powder, and the shot of espresso. Stir thoroughly until the protein powder is fully incorporated and the chia seeds are evenly distributed.
  2. Initial Rest: Let the mixture sit for about 5 minutes, then stir again to break up any clumps formed by the chia seeds and protein powder. This helps achieve a smooth pudding texture.
  3. Refrigerate: Cover the container with a lid and place it in the refrigerator for a few hours or overnight. This allows the chia seeds to fully absorb the liquid and thicken into a pudding consistency.
  4. Prepare to Serve: When ready to enjoy, remove the chia pudding from the fridge and stir it once more to blend any separated liquid back into the pudding.
  5. Add Toppings and Serve: Layer the low sugar vanilla yogurt on top of the pudding and dust generously with cocoa powder to emulate the tiramisu’s classic finish. Serve chilled and enjoy!

Notes

  • Use freshly brewed espresso for best flavor; instant espresso powder mixed with water can also work as a substitute.
  • The plant-based protein powder adds creaminess and nutrition but can be omitted if desired; adjust liquid accordingly.
  • Overnight soaking enhances texture but a minimum of 2 hours is sufficient for chia seeds to absorb liquid.
  • For a dairy-free version, use coconut or almond milk yogurt instead of traditional yogurt.
  • Adjust sweetness by choosing flavored or plain yogurt and adding a sweetener of choice if needed.
