This delicious tiramisu chia pudding is a healthy and tasty way to start the day.
If you ever made chia pudding and you weren't a fan, this recipe will convert even the fussiest of fussy eaters. It's like eating dessert for breakfast but with none of the carbs and none of the blood sugar spikes.
What I love about this keto parfait is the three different layers. You get chocolate, vanilla and tiramisu — all in one deliciously creamy breakfast pudding!
We are using a classic egg based tiramisu topping that is worth the extra effort. But if you're short on time, feel free to substitute the tiramisu layer with a simple topping made with whipping cream, vanilla and sweetener, and skip the tempered egg yolk and mascarpone.
Whatever topping you pick, you can't go wrong!

Tiramisu cream layer:
Instructions
- To make the chocolate chia pudding layer, mix 1 cup of warm non dairy milk, 1/2 tsp vanilla, 2 1/2 tbsp cacao powder, coffee and 1/4 cup powdered sweetener. Add 4 tbsp chia seeds and let sit for 15 to 20 minutes to thicken.
- To make the vanilla cream chia pudding, mix 1/2 cup of warmed non dairy milk, 2 tbsp sweetener and 1/2 tsp vanilla extract. Add 3 tbsp chia seeds and let sit for 15 to 20 minutes to thicken. Fold in 2 tablespoons of whipped cream or coconut cream.
- To make the Tiramisu cream layer, place the egg yolks, remaining powdered sweetener and vanilla extract into a heat-resistant bowl. Beat the mixture until pale and creamy.
- Place the bowl on top of a saucepan with simmering water. Reduce the heat and cook for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring constantly, until the mixture is lighter in color, increased in volume, and a little frothy.
- Take off the heat. Add the mascarpone to the whipped yolks. Whisk until smooth.
- In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream at high speed until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the mascarpone yolk mixture into the whipped cream.
- To assemble the jars, divide the chocolate layer between 5 jars, followed by the vanilla layer.
- Top with the tiramisu layer, and then dust with cocoa powder.
- Optionally, add grated dark chocolate.
- Chill for a few hours and serve. Can be stored in a refrigerator for up to 3 days.
