Ingredients
Scale
Base Ingredients
- ½ cup plant-based milk (soy, almond, or oat milk; approx. 120ml)
- 1 cup plain, thick dairy-free Greek-style yogurt (approx. 227g)
- ½ cup chia seeds (approx. 85g)
- 1–2 tbsp maple syrup (adjust to taste; 1 tbsp = approx. 21g)
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- 1 shot espresso or 1 tsp instant espresso mixed with 2 tbsp hot water (approx. 30ml)
Toppings
- ⅓ tbsp cocoa powder for dusting (approx. 2g)
- Raspberries (optional, fresh or frozen)
Instructions
- Combine ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the plant-based milk, dairy-free yogurt, chia seeds, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and espresso until thoroughly combined. This ensures even distribution of flavors and chia seeds.
- Rest and whisk: Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes to allow the chia seeds to absorb liquid and swell. After resting, whisk the mixture again to break up any clumps, ensuring a smooth texture.
- Refrigerate: Divide the mixture evenly into four small jars or containers. Cover and refrigerate for at least 3 hours, preferably overnight, until the pudding has thickened to a creamy consistency.
- Add toppings and serve: Before serving, dust the tops with cocoa powder and add raspberries if desired to enhance the tiramisu flavors and add a fresh fruit element.
Notes
- The pudding thickens more the longer it refrigerates, so overnight chilling is ideal.
- Adjust the maple syrup quantity based on your preferred sweetness level.
- If you do not have espresso, instant espresso powder diluted in hot water works equally well.
- This recipe is suitable for vegans and those avoiding dairy.
- For a nuttier flavor, try using almond milk; for a creamier texture, oat milk is preferred.
