Step-by-Step Beginner-Friendly Instructions

1️⃣ Blend the pudding base ☕

Add to a blender: Greek yogurt, maple syrup, vanilla, milk, chia seeds, espresso powder, and a pinch of salt.
Blend 60 seconds until smooth and mousse-like (scrape sides once if needed).

Texture cue: It should look creamy and slightly fluffy, not watery.

2️⃣ Portion into jars

Divide evenly into 4 jars and smooth the tops.
(Chia continues thickening as it chills.)

3️⃣ Whisk the topping

In a small bowl, whisk Greek yogurt + maple syrup + vanilla until smooth and airy.

4️⃣ Layer & dust 🍫

Spoon topping onto each jar and smooth.
Generously dust cocoa powder over the top.

5️⃣ Chill to set

Cover and refrigerate at least 2 hours (overnight is best for the thickest, most tiramisu-like flavor).

6️⃣ Serve

Eat straight from the jar. Optional: gently stir to swirl cocoa into the top layer.
