This chia seed tiramisu is a delightful fusion of creamy, coffee-infused goodness and wholesome ingredients that will satisfy your sweet cravings while fueling your body. Perfect for breakfast, a midday pick-me-up, or an after-dinner treat, this recipe brings together the rich flavors of coffee and cocoa with the health benefits of chia seeds.

Unlike traditional tiramisu, which is loaded with refined sugar and heavy dairy, this version is naturally sweetened, packed with protein, and full of fiber to keep you feeling satisfied.

Chia seeds, the star ingredient of this recipe, are tiny nutritional powerhouses that deserve a regular spot in your diet. They are packed with fiber, plant-based protein, and essential omega-3 fatty acids that support heart health, brain function, and digestion. Thanks to their incredible ability to absorb liquid, they create a pudding-like consistency that’s both creamy and satisfying. Plus, their slow-digesting nature helps stabilize blood sugar levels, making them a fantastic choice for sustained energy throughout the day.

Whether you’re looking for a nutritious breakfast option or a wholesome dessert, this chia seed tiramisu is a guilt-free way to enjoy a classic favorite with a nourishing twist.
