Ingredients Needed
This keto chia pudding with only 5g of carbs per serving is made with simple ingredients. Here are some tips for each ingredient used and alternatives.
- Greek Yogurt: Creamy, packed with protein and low carb, greek yogurt makes this low calorie chia pudding a perfect dessert. Tip: use your preferred greek yogurt, we used a 0% greek yogurt.
- Unsweetened Almond Milk: I like to use unsweetened almond milk to help with consistency and also to keep the sugar levels low. You can use your preferred milk or milk beverage.
- Espresso: depending on your love for coffee, make it super bold or use a light roast, it's really up to your personal preference. Use a cold brew concentrate if you can't make espresso.
- Sugar Free Maple Syrup: I enjoy using Lakanto Maple Flavored Syrup purchased on Amazon but your grocery store may have other alternatives. Tip: if you can't find it, sweeten the dessert with your favorite liquid sweetener like stevia or monk fruit.
- Cocoa Powder: giving this tiramisu chia pudding dessert that rich chocolate flavor. Tip: use more to sprinkle over the dessert once it's assembled.
- Chia Seeds: rich in dietary fiber, chia seeds will form a gel formation around them once they are soaked in the pudding mixture that can help regulate blood sugar levels.
- Vanilla Extract

Top Tip
The consistency of the tiramisu chia pudding may vary depending on the type of milk used, the soaking time, and how much the chia seeds absorb liquid. For a thicker pudding, allow it to soak longer or add a bit more chia seeds. If it’s too thick, stir in a splash of your preferred milk to reach your desired consistency.
Recipe Tips
- Enjoy this as a healthy breakfast recipe in the morning topped with your favorite chopped nuts like pecans or walnuts.
- Make it vegan: Use whipped coconut cream instead of greek yogurt for the chia pudding tiramisu, use almond extract and top with toasted coconut flakes.
- Don't have time to make coffee or you don't have an espresso machine, use an unsweetened cold brew concentrate instead of espresso.
Variations
- Chocolate Lovers: mix in some sugar free chocolate syrup for a mocha inspired flavor.
- Berries: layer the chia pudding with fresh berries and top with a dollop of whipped cream.
- Nutty: I love serving this dessert with crushed hazelnut on top.
