Ingredients

Cottage cheese: We use a low-fat cottage cheese (2% milkfat) in this recipe to boost the protein while keeping it creamy and delicious.

Coffee: We use just ⅔ cup of regular or strong coffee, which adds a bold, signature tiramisu flavor. You can use decaf if preferred.

Chia seeds: Be sure to use fresh chia seeds that are black or white. We typically get Bob’s Red Mill Organic Chia Seeds.

Sugar-free sweetener: We use allulose sweetener to add a little sweetness, but you can use another sweetener of choice. Other sugar-free options could include stevia, monk fruit, erythritol, etc. Just be sure to checker out this sweetener conversion chart.

Vanilla extract: Enhances the dessert-like flavor of the pudding.

Sugar-free whipping cream: To enhance flavor and make the pudding lighter, we incorporate zero-sugar whipping cream. We simply use store-bought zero-sugar whipping cream since it’s tasty and low in carbs.

Grated sugar-free chocolate chips: We use Lily’s sugar-free semi-sweet chocolate baking chips, but you could also consider Lily’s sugar-free dark chocolate or milk chocolate baking chips.

How to Make

STEP 1: In a food processor, pulse cottage cheese with coffee, allulose sweetener and vanilla extract until smooth.

STEP 2: In a bowl, stir together whipped cottage cheese mixture with chia seeds.

STEP 3: Let rest for 10 minutes and then stir again to thicken it. Cover and refrigerate overnight (at least 4 or more hours).

Expert Tips

Fresh chia seeds (black or white) are best for creating a thick and creamy pudding.
After stirring all the ingredients, let the pudding sit for 10 minutes and then stir again before refrigerating to help prevent clumping.
Although you can eat after several hours in the fridge, it’s best to let it sit overnight in the fridge for the best results.
After removing from fridge, be sure to stir well before serving.
Don’t forget to add sugar-free whipping cream and grated sugar-free chocolate chips before serving.
You can keep pudding covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

How to Store

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. If the pudding thickens too much, simply stir in a splash of almond milk before serving.
