THE VIRAL TIRAMISU CHIA PUDDING RECIPE
Ingredients
1/2 cup chia seeds
1 cup almond milk (or any milk of choice)
1 tablespoon maple syrup (or your preferred sweetener)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon espresso powder or 1 shot of brewed coffee (cooled)
1 tablespoon cocoa powder (unsweetened)
Pinch of sea salt
Optional toppings: grated dark chocolate, cocoa powder, crushed ladyfingers, or a dusting of cinnamon
METHOD
Mix the base: In a bowl or mason jar, combine the chia seeds, almond milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, espresso powder (or brewed coffee), cocoa powder, and a pinch of sea salt. Stir well until everything is fully combined.
Refrigerate: Cover the bowl or jar with a lid or plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight for best results. The chia seeds will absorb the liquid and create a thick, pudding-like texture.
Serve: Once the pudding has set, stir it to break up any clumps. Spoon into serving glasses or bowls.
Garnish: Top with a dusting of cocoa powder, grated dark chocolate, or crushed ladyfingers for an extra indulgent touch. You can also sprinkle some cinnamon on top for added flavour.
Enjoy: Serve chilled for a satisfying breakfast, snack, or dessert that has all the flavours of a classic tiramisu, with a healthy twist!
Tips
For a richer flavour, use coconut milk or cashew milk.
You can layer the chia pudding with a little whipped cream or Greek yoghurt to enhance the dessert-like experience.
For a fun twist, try adding a dash of coffee liqueur (like Kahlúa) for an adult version!
