Tips for making this Tiramisu Chia Pudding recipe:

• I love unsweetened almond milk and use it in most of my recipes. If you don’t, substitute for any other kind of milk you want.
• My secret for a really creamy chia pudding is using a little yoghurt. The thicker the better! Here I used a greek style yoghurt, coconut yoghurt also works really well.
• Stir the chia seeds into the milk mixture well, and then stir again! This will prevent lumps of chia seeds forming in you chia pudding.
• For best results, let the chia pudding cill out in the fridge overnight. If you are short on time, chill for a minimum of 4 hours.
• Taste the chia pudding before adding maple syrup, I don’t like it so sweet, sometimes I don’t add any sweetener at all. I find the almond milk has a sweet flavor on its own. Agave syrup or other liquid sweetener can also be used.
• Here I used 1 tablespoon coffee, if you want a really strong coffee flavor, feel free to use 2 tablespoon of strong coffee.
• Best eaten with a mixture of all three layers on the spoon. The flavors blend so well together!
