Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup (80g) chia seeds, divided
  • 2 tablespoons (12g) unsweetened cocoa powder (Dutch-processed preferred)
  • 1 3/4 cups (420ml) almond milk, divided (or other non-dairy milk)
  • 3 tablespoons (45ml) maple syrup, divided (or honey/agave, to taste)
  • 2 tablespoons (32g) almond butter (or cashew butter, or sunflower seed butter for nut-free)
  • 1 teaspoon (5ml) vanilla extract, divided
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1/4 cup (60ml) cooled espresso or strong brewed coffee
  • 1/4 cup (60g) mascarpone cheese or thick Greek yogurt (or coconut yogurt for dairy-free)
  • Dark chocolate shavings or cacao nibs, for topping
  • Unsweetened cocoa powder, for dusting
  • Fresh berries or a sprinkle of cinnamon, optional for topping

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup chia seeds, 2 tablespoons cocoa powder, 1 cup almond milk, 2 tablespoons maple syrup, 2 tablespoons almond butter, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Stir well to combine. Let rest for 10 minutes, then stir again to break up any clumps.
  2. In a separate bowl, combine 1/4 cup chia seeds, 3/4 cup almond milk, 1/4 cup cooled espresso or strong coffee, 1/4 cup mascarpone or Greek yogurt, 1 tablespoon maple syrup (optional), and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth. Let sit for 10 minutes, then stir again.
  3. Cover both bowls and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best results. The chia pudding will thicken and set.
  4. Optional: For extra creaminess, blend each pudding mixture for 10-20 seconds until smooth.
  5. To assemble, spoon half the brownie batter pudding evenly into 3-4 small jars (about 1/4 cup per jar). Add a layer of tiramisu chia pudding (about 1/4 cup per jar), then repeat so you have two layers of each. Use a spoon or spatula to gently spread each layer.
  6. Top with dark chocolate shavings or cacao nibs, dust with cocoa powder, and add berries or cinnamon if desired. Serve immediately for a soft texture, or chill for another hour for firmer layers.

Notes

For best texture, blend the chia pudding after it sets. Adjust sweetness to taste. Use coconut yogurt for dairy-free, and sunflower seed butter for nut-free. The pudding thickens as it chills; add a splash of milk if too thick. Store in the fridge for up to 5 days. Flavors deepen after a day or two.
