This Tiramisu Chia Pudding with Greek Yogurt is a delightful, creamy, and healthy twist on the classic Italian dessert. Combining the richness of Greek yogurt, the bold flavor of espresso, and the nutrition of chia seeds, this no-bake pudding is sweetened naturally with maple syrup and topped with a smooth vanilla Greek yogurt layer finished with a dusting of cocoa powder. Perfect for a nutritious breakfast or a guilt-free dessert, it’s easy to prepare and requires minimal hands-on time.

  • Total Time: 1 hour 10 minutes (including chilling time)
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

For the pudding base:

  • 2 cups plain Greek yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup milk of your choice (dairy or plant-based)
  • ½ cup chia seeds
  • 1.5 tablespoons instant espresso powder
  • A pinch of salt

For the topping:

  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 2 teaspoons maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Unsweetened cocoa powder for dusting

Instructions

  1. Prepare your ingredients: Gather and measure all ingredients for the pudding base including Greek yogurt, maple syrup, vanilla extract, milk, chia seeds, espresso powder, and a pinch of salt to streamline the process.
  2. Blend the base: Place all pudding-base ingredients into a high-speed blender and blend on medium-high for about 60 seconds, scraping down the sides occasionally, until the mixture is smooth and mousse-like. This step fully incorporates chia seeds and creates a creamy texture immediately.
  3. Portion the pudding: Divide the blended pudding evenly into four jars or containers. Smooth the tops slightly with a spoon as the mixture will thicken further while chilling.
  4. Prepare the topping: In a separate small bowl, combine 1 cup Greek yogurt with 2 teaspoons maple syrup and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and slightly airy to create a light topping.
  5. Layer the topping: Spoon the prepared topping evenly over each pudding jar, creating a clean, even layer. Smooth the surface with the back of a spoon or spatula.
  6. Dust with cocoa powder: Generously sprinkle unsweetened cocoa powder on top of each jar to replicate the classic tiramisu look and add a subtle chocolate flavor.
  7. Chill to set: Cover the jars and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the pudding to thicken and the flavors to meld. For optimal texture and taste, chill overnight.
  8. Serve and enjoy: Serve directly from the jar. Optionally, stir gently before eating to mix the cocoa powder into the pudding for a richer experience.

Notes

  • Use any milk you prefer—dairy or plant-based such as almond, oat, or soy milk—to adjust creaminess and dietary preferences.
  • The instant espresso powder can be adjusted to taste depending on how strong you like the coffee flavor.
  • For a vegan version, substitute Greek yogurt with a plant-based yogurt of your choice and use maple syrup as the sweetener.
  • Chilling overnight offers the best texture, but a minimum of 2 hours is sufficient.
  • Ensure to mix the chia seeds well in the blender to avoid clumping and achieve a uniform texture.
