Can I make tiramisu chia pudding without coffee?

For a similar depth of flavor, try using decaf espresso, chicory, or a coffee alternative like dandelion root. You can also add a little extra vanilla or cacao for richness.

What if I don’t have time to let it sit or want it to thicken faster?

Use warm non-dairy milk when mixing your chia pudding—it helps activate the chia seeds more quickly so it can thicken in as little as 15 minutes.

Why didn’t my chia pudding thicken overnight?

This usually comes down to the chia-to-liquid ratio or not stirring enough at the start. Make sure to stir well in the first 10–15 minutes. If it’s still too thin, add 1–2 teaspoons of chia seeds, stir, and let it sit longer until it thickens.

Can I blend chia pudding for a smoother texture?

Yes, blending creates a silky, pudding-like texture without the tapioca-like seeds but it often gives the pudding a bitter aftertaste. You can add more sweetener to mask it.
