This Chocolate Tiramisu Chia Pudding is a plant-based twist on the classic Italian dessert we all know and love. Instead of heavy cream and sugar, it’s made with wholesome, nourishing ingredients that still deliver that decadent tiramisu flavour. With layers of silky chocolate pudding, coffee-infused chia pudding, and a creamy coconut protein yogurt topping, it feels indulgent but leaves you feeling energized rather than sluggish.
Perfect for a make-ahead breakfast, a mid-afternoon pick-me-up, or even a healthier dessert, this recipe is simple to put together but looks impressive in a glass or jar.
