Tiramisu Chia Seed Pudding
Tiramisu Chia Seed Pudding layers a chocolate coffee-flavored chia pudding with a mascarpone-inspired creamy chia layer. This no-bake dessert develops a pudding-like texture from soaked chia seeds and combines rich cocoa, coffee, and vanilla flavors with a light, tangy, and subtly sweet cream layer. The layers are chilled and served with a dusting of cocoa powder for a tiramisu-inspired experience.
