Substitutions and variations
- Vegan – This coconut chia pudding is naturally vegan by using almond milk and a plant based yoghurt. They can both be replaced with any milk and yoghurt of choice. Preferably use a thick and creamy yoghurt for the best consistency. If using sweetened yoghurt, reduce the maple syrup if needed.
- Extra protein – For an extra protein boost, stir in 2 tablespoons of your favourite protein powder and top with a greek style yoghurt or protein yoghurt. Also check out this high protein chia pudding.
- Milk– This recipe uses unsweetened almond milk. Substitute with other non-dairy milk to keep this a vegan chia pudding, like oat milk or soy milk. Normal milk can also be used for non vegan.
- Sweetener – This chia pudding recipe uses maple syrup. Agave syrup or other liquid sweetener can also be used. Brown sugar also works for a sweeter chia pudding, just make sure to sir it extra well until the sugar is dissolved. Or check out this Brown sugar overnight oats.
Top Tips for making Chia Pudding
- My secret for a really creamy chia pudding is adding 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 and add more maple syrup if desired for a sweeter coffee chia pudding.
- This recipe has 1 tablespoons strong espresso coffee, for a stronger coffee flavor, feel free to use 2 tablespoons of strong coffee.
- Best eaten with a mixture of all three layers on the spoon. The flavors blend so well together!
How to store chia pudding
This tiramisu chia pudding makes an excellent meal prep recipe! Store in an airtight container or in individual jars in the fridge for up to 4 days.
Freezing is not recommended, as the texture can become watery after thawing.
FAQ
No, it’s optional. I really like the look of the three different layers in this tiramisu chia pudding. If you are short on time, or just don’t feel like getting 3 bowl dirty, just stir everything together in one bowl (except for the yoghurt topping). Let it set in the fridge and top with the yoghurt and a dusting of cocoa powder.
For the creamiest chia pudding, let it soak overnight. This allows the chia seeds to fully hydrate and create a pudding like texture. They can also be eaten after just 4 hours, but the consistency will be looser and less creamy.
