Chocolate Tiramisu Chia Pudding

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.

Nutritional Benefits

  • Fibre-packed: Chia seeds and plant-based ingredients add fibre to support digestion and balance blood sugar.

Give it a try when you’re craving dessert for breakfast (we won’t tell) or want to wow friends with a plant-based treat that tastes just as good as the original.
