Description
A healthier twist on the classic Italian dessert, Tiramisu Chia Pudding combines creamy mascarpone, robust coffee, and chia seeds for a nutritious indulgence.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 tablespoons chia seeds
- 1 cup milk (almond, coconut, or dairy)
- 1/2 cup mascarpone cheese
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup strong brewed coffee (cooled)
- 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Mix the Base: In a bowl, whisk together the chia seeds, milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and pinch of salt until well-combined. Let it sit for 2 minutes to ensure even distribution.
- Refrigerate: Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight until the mixture thickens.
- Prepare the Coffee Mixture: In a separate bowl, whisk the mascarpone cheese until creamy, then gently fold in the cooled coffee.
- Layer it Up: Once the chia pudding is set, divide half among serving glasses, layer with the coffee-mascarpone mixture, and top with the remaining chia pudding.
- Finishing Touch: Dust the top with unsweetened cocoa powder before serving.
Notes
For best results, bring mascarpone to room temperature before blending. Store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
