Description
A light, nutritious chia parfait with the coffee-and-cocoa comfort of classic tiramisu, perfect for breakfasts or desserts.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup chia seeds
- 2 cups almond milk (or any milk of choice)
- 1/4 cup maple syrup (or sweetener of choice)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup strong brewed coffee, cooled
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
- Pinch of salt
- For topping (optional): cocoa powder or chocolate shavings, a dusting of instant coffee, or chopped toasted nuts
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine chia seeds, almond milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, cooled coffee, cocoa powder, and a pinch of salt.
- Whisk the mixture vigorously to break up cocoa clumps and distribute seeds evenly.
- Let it sit for about 10 minutes, then whisk again to prevent clumping as the seeds begin to hydrate.
- Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight to fully set.
- Once set, stir the pudding again to ensure even texture and portion into individual cups or jars.
- Top with a light dusting of cocoa powder or chocolate shavings before serving.
Notes
Use freshly brewed strong coffee for the best flavor. Adjust sweetness after chilling as it may taste less sweet when cold. Stir in milk if pudding thickens too much.
