  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup Provides gentle sweetness.
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Rounds the flavor.
  • 1 cup milk of your choice Use dairy or plant-based as preferred.
  • ½ cup chia seeds Thickener that creates a satisfying texture.
  • 1.5 tablespoons instant espresso powder Provides tiramisu character without brewing coffee.
  • a pinch salt Enhances overall flavor.
For the topping
  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt Lightens the topping.
  • 2 teaspoons maple syrup Adds a touch of sweetness.
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Provides flavor consistency.
  • Unsweetened cocoa powder For dusting on top.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Gather all ingredients for the pudding base.
  2. Place all pudding-base ingredients into a high-speed blender.
  3. Blend on medium-high for about 60 seconds, scraping down the sides occasionally, until smooth and mousse-like.
Portioning and Topping
  1. Divide the blended pudding evenly into four jars or containers.
  2. In a separate small bowl, combine 1 cup Greek yogurt, 2 teaspoons maple syrup, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth and slightly airy.
  3. Spoon the prepared topping evenly over each pudding jar.
  4. Dust generously with unsweetened cocoa powder.
Chilling
  1. Cover the jars and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best results.
  2. Serve straight from the jar; optionally stir before eating.

Notes

Dust cocoa just before serving for the best presentation. Adjust espresso amount for picky palates. Jars can be stored for 3-4 days in the refrigerator.
