Equipment

• 1 coffee maker or espresso machine
• 1 Measuring utensils and cups
• 1 Bowl
• 2 small jars or containers with lids for storage

Ingredients

• 1 espresso Double shot, or around 2oz strong coffee (see my note below before you freak out)
• 3 tbsp chia seeds
• 1 tbsp maple syrup or agave nectar
• 1.5 cup soy yogurt any dairy-free yogurt, plain, divided
• 1/3 cup oat milk omit, if not using protein powder
• 1 scoop protein powder optional, chocolate or vanilla (I like this flavorless collagen option from Bulletproof)
• 1 tbsp cocoa powder or cacao powder

Instructions

• To begin making your tiramisu chia pudding, prepare your coffee or espresso shot (I made double shot espresso since this recipe makes two puddings).
• Next, mix coffee (or espresso) in a bowl with 1 cup of dairy-free plain yogurt, chocolate or vanilla protein powder (optional), dairy-free milk of your choice (omit if not using protein powder), chia seeds and maple syrup (or agave nectar).
• Divide the mixture into two jars or containers. Top each with around 1/4 cup of more dairy-free yogurt and spread evenly to create a nice creamy top layer (if the chia seed pudding mixture is still a little too thin, allow this to sit in the fridge for about 10-15 minutes to thicken first, before topping with more yogurt).
• Sprinkle about 1 tsp of cocoa or cacao powder (or more if desired) on top of each jar.
• Top with the lid and let this sit in the fridge for at least 2 hours before enjoying. Store in the tightly sealed container in the fridge for up to 3-4 days!

NOTE: Ok, so listen. I know this has espresso in it and you’re not supposed to have that during pregnancy due to the caffeine content. I hear you. You can skip it….you can buy decaf espresso….or you can just keep the recipe as is and not tell a soul. I won’t tell anyone either. #doulanearme #michiganfamilydoulaservices
