Collagen Tiramisu Chia Pudding: A Beauty-Boosting Superfood Treat

As an avid collagen consumer and a firm believer in the power of superfoods, I’m always looking for delicious and nutrient-packed ways to incorporate them into my routine. While I enjoy sipping on herbal teas for skin health, I also crave a convenient and indulgent way to nourish my body. That’s why I created this Collagen Tiramisu Chia Pudding—a decadent yet wholesome dessert that blends the classic flavours of tiramisu with the beauty benefits of collagen, chia seeds, and antioxidant-rich ingredients.

If you’re looking for a simple, make-ahead meal that satisfies your sweet tooth while enhancing skin glow, gut health, and energy levels, this recipe is for you!

Why Collagen is a Game-Changer for Beauty & Wellness
Collagen is an essential protein that keeps skin firm, hair strong, and joints healthy. However, as we age, our natural collagen production declines, leading to fine lines, dryness, and weaker nails. By incorporating a high-quality collagen powder into your diet, you can support youthful skin, boost hydration, and promote overall wellness.

In this recipe, collagen blends seamlessly into the creamy texture of the pudding, giving you a beauty-enhancing treat that’s as delicious as it is functional.

Superfood Benefits in Every Spoonful
This Collagen Tiramisu Chia Pudding is more than just a dessert—it’s a powerhouse of nutrients designed to nourish your body from the inside out.

• Supports Radiant Skin & Strong Hair
  Collagen peptides help maintain firm, hydrated skin while reducing the appearance of fine lines.
• Gut Health & Digestion
  Chia seeds are loaded with fiber and omega-3s, supporting digestion and reducing bloating. Greek yogurt provides probiotics for a healthy gut microbiome.
• Natural Energy & Muscle Recovery
  Espresso and cacao powder offer a natural caffeine boost for sustained energy.
  Protein-rich Greek yogurt supports muscle repair and keeps you feeling full longer.
• Mood & Brain Boosting
  Cacao is rich in antioxidants and magnesium, helping to reduce stress and enhance brain function.

Ok so here's the recipe!

Ingredients (Serves 2)
Chia Pudding Layer:
⦁    3 tbsp chia seeds
⦁    1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any milk of choice)
⦁    1 scoop collagen powder (unflavored or vanilla)
⦁    1 tbsp maple syrup or honey
⦁    1 tsp vanilla extract
⦁    ½ tsp instant espresso powder (optional for coffee flavor)

Creamy Mascarpone Layer
⦁    ½ cup Greek yogurt (or dairy-free alternative)
⦁    2 tbsp mascarpone cheese (or coconut yogurt for dairy-free)
⦁    1 scoop vanilla protein powder
⦁    1 tbsp maple syrup or honey
⦁    ½ tsp vanilla extract

Topping
⦁    1 tbsp cacao or unsweetened organic cocoa powder
⦁    Dark chocolate shavings (optional)
⦁    Espresso-soaked ladyfinger crumbs (optional for a tiramisu effect)

Make the chia pudding
In a bowl, mix chia seeds, almond milk, collagen powder, maple syrup, vanilla, and espresso powder. Stir well and let sit for 5 minutes. Stir again to prevent clumping.
Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours (or overnight) until thickened.

Prepare the mascarpone layer
In another bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, mascarpone cheese, protein powder, maple syrup, and vanilla until smooth and creamy.

Assemble the pudding:
In serving glasses, layer half of the chia pudding, then a layer of the mascarpone mixture. Repeat the layers. Dust the top with cocoa powder and optional chocolate shavings.

Chill and serve
Let it sit in the fridge for 30 minutes for flavors to meld.

Enjoy as a protein-packed, collagen-boosting, guilt-free tiramisu pudding!
