Tiramisu is a beloved Italian dessert that, with its creamy texture and rich coffee flavour, hits the spot for many after lunch or dinner. But what if you could enjoy this heavenly dessert in a healthier way? Let me introduce a version of tiramisu that is healthier but no less delicious: chia seed tiramisu! Ingredients for this recipe

Chia seeds | Agave syrup | Coffee

This refreshing version is perfect for hot summer days, when we want something sweet but light. And what's even better? No cooking! The key ingredient of this recipe is chia seeds, which are rich in omega-3 fatty acids, fibre and protein. Omega-3 fatty acids are key for the health of the heart, brain and skin, while fibre contributes to better digestion.

But why is this version of tiramisu healthier? Classic tiramisu is made with ingredients high in fat and sugar, such as mascarpone, eggs and sugar. Our version, on the other hand, uses vegan, lower-calorie alternatives such as almond drink and agave syrup, which give sweetness without added refined sugar.

On top of that, we have Digestive biscuits, which are known for being nutritious and rich in fibre, which gives them an edge over the traditional ladyfingers usually found in tiramisu.

Combining these ingredients creates a unique texture and flavour that you simply have to try. And for those of you who are sceptical about chia seeds: once soaked, the seeds create a gel-like consistency that is very similar to a traditional tiramisu cream.

So if you're looking for a refreshing yet healthy summer dessert that doesn't take hours and hours to prepare, this vegan chia tiramisu is perfect for you! One last tip: serve it cold, surrounded by family and friends, and enjoy every sweet bite!

Are you, like me, a fan of desserts served in a jar? I agree, because making this kind of dessert is much quicker and simpler, and often doesn't need such precise measuring.
