AIIMS : Do you want dessert? A doctor with training from gives a recipe for nutritious tiramisu chia pudding
AIIMS: Tiramisu Chia Pudding is a delicious remedy for anybody who has ever found themselves lusting for a piece of tiramisu but been put off by the inevitable sugar crash that always seems to follow. It’s more than just a healthier version of a beloved dish; it’s a secret method for satisfying your sweet need without going overboard with your strict diet.
AIIMS-trained gastroenterologist Dr. Saurabh Sethi explains how the dip in blood sugar brought on by sugar consumption triggers food cravings. Cutting down sweets isn’t the only objective; you also want to provide your body with a decadent treat that maintains stable blood sugar and hunger levels. That’s just what this chia pudding does.
Why this dish is successful
The little yet powerful chia seeds are the source of the magic. Chia, which is high in fiber, omega-3 fatty acids, and plant protein, slows digestion and stabilizes blood sugar, preventing the typical rise and fall that sugar-rich sweets cause. It manages to feel wonderfully fulfilling without the guilt when combined with rich flavors like coffee and cocoa.
To make Tiramisu Chia Pudding at home, follow these steps.
Components
Chia seeds, three teaspoons
One cup of your preferred milk (plant or dairy)
One or two tablespoons of unsweetened powdered cocoa
One or two tablespoons of espresso or pure coffee (optional)
One or two tablespoons of your preferred sweetener, such as honey, maple, or a stevia mix
A couple of drops of vanilla extract
Fresh fruit, roasted almonds, and dark chocolate shavings are optional garnishes.
Instructions for making tiramisu chia pudding
To make the chia base, put the milk, chia seeds, cocoa powder, coffee, and vanilla in a dish or jar and stir until well blended.
Sweeten to taste: You want it to be nice, not too sweet, so add your preferred sweetener a bit at a time while tasting.
Cover and chill for at least two hours, or overnight if possible, to let it to thicken. As the chia seeds expand, they will take on the consistency of thick pudding.
Serve with style: Give it a thorough swirl before serving. Add a touch of cinnamon, a handful of fresh berries, or a sprinkle of dark chocolate on top.
The end result is a dessert that has the essence of tiramisu but functions more like a balanced snack with a continuous release of energy, plenty of fiber, and a sweetness that is satisfying rather than overwhelming.
Clever substitutions for health-conscious consumers
Reduce your sugar intake: Your taste receptors adjust more quickly than you may realize, so use natural sweeteners or gradually cut down on sugar.
Boost your diet: For more richness and a protein boost, add a dollop of Greek yogurt or protein powder.
Caffeine optional: Use decaf or espresso-flavored extract if coffee isn’t your thing.
