Tiramisu Chia Seed Pudding
Description
The recipe uses two separate chia pudding mixtures. The chocolate coffee layer combines warm non-dairy milk with cocoa powder, brewed coffee, vanilla extract, maple syrup, and chia seeds, thickening to form a pudding. The mascarpone cream layer incorporates non-dairy milk, almond and/or vanilla extract, salt, lemon juice, and chia seeds, optionally folded with whipped coconut cream for richness. Both are allowed to gel before layering in serving containers.
The pudding is assembled by layering the chocolate and cream mixtures, then topped with whipped coconut cream and a dusting of cocoa powder for a visually appealing finish. The pudding has a smooth yet textured consistency from the chia seeds and balanced flavors that echo tiramisu without eggs or dairy.
It can be prepared ahead and refrigerated for up to three days. Variations include adding granola or fresh fruit as toppings. There's also an option to substitute some chia seeds with oats to create an overnight oats version.
