High-Fiber Tiramisu Chia Pudding

A creamy, coffee-kissed chia pudding inspired by classic tiramisu, packed with fiber, and perfect for a nourishing breakfast or dessert

This high-fiber tiramisu chia seed pudding brings together the cozy flavor of espresso with creamy yogurt and naturally sweet honey for a lighter take on the classic dessert.

Being Italian, tiramisu is one of those desserts that feels especially familiar to me. The traditional version layers coffee-soaked ladyfingers with a rich cream made from egg yolks, sugar, and mascarpone, all topped with cocoa powder. It originated in northeastern Italy and gained popularity in restaurants beginning in the late 1960s.

In this chia pudding breakfast version of the classic dessert, the chia seeds soak up the coffee-vanilla milk mixture overnight, creating a thick, pudding-like texture that feels indulgent but is packed with fiber and protein. Greek yogurt adds an extra layer of creaminess, giving the pudding that signature tiramisu vibe without mascarpone. A dusting of cocoa powder and a sprinkle of mini chocolate chips finish the dish with just the right amount of chocolatey richness. It’s simple to prep, perfect for making ahead, and versatile enough to enjoy as a nourishing breakfast, afternoon snack, or dessert. With just a handful of wholesome ingredients, this recipe delivers all the comforting flavors of tiramisu in an easy, everyday chia pudding.
