    Tiramisu Chia Seed Pudding

    Decadent Vegan Tiramisu Chia Seed Pudding! Coffee Chocolate Chia pudding layered with creamy vanilla layer topped with whipped coconut cream and cocoa powder. Glutenfree Soyfree Nutfree Dairyfree   Jump to Recipe 

    Vegan Tiramisu Chia Seed Pudding in weck jars

    When you can have Tiramisu Chia seed pudding for breakfast, then why wouldn’t you!

    This easy chia pudding has 3 layers. The Chocolate Coffee layer has warmed non dairy milk, vanilla, cocoa powder, some coffee, maple syrup or other sweetener, and chia seeds. The warmed milk helps the chia seed absorb the liquid evenly and quickly and the pudding thickens within 15 mins!

    For the cream layer I use warmed non dairy milk, almond extract, a pinch of salt and lemon juice for the cheese flavor, maple syrup or other sweetener, and chia seeds. The almond extract adds a bit of amaretto flavor without the liquor. You can add the extract to either the chocolate layer or the cream layer. The lemon and salt add a slight cream cheese like flavor which works amazingly. You can omit them for a plain vanilla pudding layer as well. The third layer is some fluffy whipped coconut cream and a dusting of good cocoa! and done.

    Ingredients for Vegan Tiramisu Chia Seed Pudding

    • Chocolate coffee chia pudding: You need non dairy milk, vanilla extract, cocoa cocoa powder, optional coffee, maple syrup or other sweetener, and chia seeds
    • Creamy Mascarpone style chia pudding: You need non dairy milk, almond extract, a pinch of salt and lemon juice for the cheese flavor, maple syrup or other sweetener, and chia seeds.
    • Whipped coconut cream for topping and cocoa cocoa powder for dusting.

    How to make Tiramisu Chia Seed Pudding

    Warm the non dairy milk. Mix the non dairy milk through maple syrup with a whisk for the chocolate layer. Then add the chia seeds and let sit for 15 mins to thicken. The warmed milk helps the chia seed absorb the liquid evenly and quickly and the pudding thickens in 15 mins.

    Variations:

    Make Chocolate and vanilla pudding: Omit coffee from the chocolate coffee layer,  omit lemon and salt, add vanilla extract in the cream layer. You can alternate spooning the pudding for a marble effect.

    Make Tiramisu overnight oats: Use 1 tbsp chia seeds and 3/4 cup oats instead of the chia seeds in chocolate layer and 1 tbsp chia seeds and 1/2 cup oats in cream layer.

      Love that this is low in sugar but high in flavor. I made this for my birthday treat. I made a cashew cream for the top and added a sprinkle of cinnamon and cardamom. I always appreciate that your dessert recipes make small batches. Thank you!

      I am snowed in–with no chance of driving out of my garage for at least a week. (Terrifying.) I have all ingredients except lemon. Can I make this without lemon? Or is that strictly necessary for the chemistry of the dish?
      Thank you, and wish me luck!

      I made it for our holiday dinner last night. It was fabulous! I substituted carob for cocoa. For the cream topping I made an aquafaba whipped cream with 3/4 cup aquafaba (liquid from canned white beans), 1/4 tsp cream of tartar, 1/2 tsp vanilla extract and 2/3 cup powdered sugar and put it in the freezer until dessert was ready to be served. Thank you for this amazing recipe!

      Am I missing something here? There’s no mention of how or when to add the vanilla extract, cocoa powder or coffee to the chocolate layer – you only mention the warm non-dairy milk, the maple syrup and the chia seeds.

          Thanks for amending your method. I’ve made the two parts and will assemble it all tomorrow for lunch guests. Do you have a recipe on your website for the whipped coconut cream? I had a look but couldn’t find one.
          Thanks.

            I dont, i usually use so delicious coco whip. to make your own, refrigerate full fat coconut milk overnight, then scoop the cream portion and whip with a mixer. you can add some powdered sugar mid way and continue to whip. I should make a video ofthat eventually.

              I’m wondering if there’s something that we could substitute the maple syrup and coconut cream with? My daughter and I are vegans and she was recently diagnosed with Mixed Connective Tissue disorder (autoimmune) and she can’t have any processed foods right now or sugar/oils as we work on treating this and bring it either into remission or completely stopped.

              I will check out the cashew cream as she can’t have any sugar products. We’re new to this.

              I should also add, as I read the comments below, that she has to use steel cut oats as they are the least processed. Any additional direction with using these is appreciated.

              I’d love to see the video on the coco whip. I’m in Canada, not sure if they sell that where I live. Will have to check it out, but my daughter may not be able to have it 🙁 I see the aquafaba version in the comments below. Is there something to substitute for the sugar?

              Thanks for your advice 🙂

              thanks for your inquiries. I have many options for chia puddings that would be better click here: You could just omit the maple syrup & the steel oats would require cooking. the link has some gluten free and rice flour varieties that I’m sure your daughter will love

        For the chia seeds/oats option, does the 1 tbsp chia ¾ cup oats ratio apply to all type of oats? Or will the amount need to be adjusted depending if quick/rolled/steel cuts oats are used?

        Thanks. 🙂

      Do the chia seeds have a slimy texture in this pudding? I ate a shop-bought cold chia seed chocolate pudding a while ago and it felt like eating frogspawn…

        thats how chia seeds are 🙂 make it into overnight oats with a mix of oats and chia seeds.See notes for the amounts. you an use just 1-2 tsp chia seeds. The seeds mixed into the oats are not detectable and because they are not so together, the texture is not slimy.

          If you blend it before refrigerating it, the “frog spawn” goes away and it just becomes a pudding 🙂

            yes you can blend it. ill add a note. Although the chia flavor gets very strong on blending so it would need more of thte flavor components to mask it
