Ingredients
  

Pudding Base
  • 1/2 cup chia seeds Provide fiber and healthy fats; use more for thicker texture.
  • 2 cups milk (dairy or plant-based) Creates a creamy base; try almond, oat, or soy milk.
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup Acts as a natural sweetener; agave nectar or honey work for non-vegans.
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Adds depth and aroma; substitute with other extracts for variety.
Coffee Layer
  • 1 cup mascarpone cheese Brings a rich, creamy texture; use non-dairy options if needed.
  • 1/2 cup cool coffee Infuses dessert with classic tiramisu flavor; add coffee liqueur for an adult version.
Finishing Touches
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder Enhances flavor and presentation; can use carob powder as an alternative.

Equipment

  • mixing bowls
  • whisk
  • Plastic wrap
  • Serving glasses or bowls
  • fine-mesh sieve

Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together chia seeds, milk, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until fully combined and smooth.
  2. Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight to thicken.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk mascarpone cheese until smooth, then gradually fold in cooled coffee.
  4. Spoon half of the thickened chia pudding into serving glasses (even layer), then add a layer of coffee-mascarpone mix.
  5. Top with the remaining chia pudding, smoothing the surface for a beautiful finish.
  6. Dust the top with cocoa powder using a fine mesh sieve before serving.
  7. Serve chilled and enjoy your guilt-free indulgence!
