Chia Pudding Base
- 1/4 cup chia seeds
- 3/4 cup almond milk
- 1/4 cup cold coffee
- 2 Medjool dates, pitted
- 1 tablespoon cacao powder
- 1 scoop collagen powder
- Pinch of salt
Topping
- 1/4 cup Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon cocoa powder
- 1 tablespoon almond milk
- Cacao nibs (optional, for topping)
- Blend the Base Ingredients: In a blender, combine the chia seeds, almond milk, cold coffee, pitted Medjool dates, cacao powder, collagen, and a pinch of salt. Blend until the mixture is almost smooth, scraping down the sides as necessary to ensure everything is evenly mixed.
- Refrigerate to Thicken: Divide the blended chia pudding mixture evenly between two jars or containers. Seal them tightly and place them in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or overnight, to allow the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and thicken into a pudding-like consistency.
- Prepare the Topping and Serve: Before serving, mix together the Greek yogurt, cocoa powder, and almond milk until smooth. Spoon this creamy topping over the chilled chia pudding. Finish by sprinkling cacao nibs on top if using, then enjoy your tiramisu-inspired chia pudding.
Notes
- You can adjust the thickness by adding more or less almond milk based on your preference.
- For a vegan version, substitute Greek yogurt with a plant-based yogurt and collagen with a vegan protein powder.
- Use strong cold brew coffee for a more pronounced coffee flavor.
- Medjool dates add natural sweetness; if unavailable, substitute with maple syrup or honey.
- Chilling overnight improves texture but a minimum of 2 hours is sufficient.
