Ingredients
  

For the Chia Cream
  • 400 ml Plant-based milk almond, cashew, or vanilla soy
  • 6 tbsp Chia seeds
  • 1 tsp Vanilla powder or natural extract
  • 2-3 tbsp Maple syrup or other natural sweetener
For the Creamy Layer (like 'mascarpone')
  • 200 g Plain plant-based yogurt coconut or soy
  • 100 g Silken tofu or soaked cashews blended
  • 1 tbsp Maple syrup
  • 1 tsp Lemon juice to balance
For the Soaked 'Biscuit' Base
  • 100 ml Strong coffee espresso or instant
  • 1 tbsp Maple syrup
  • Gluten-free biscuits or homemade cake cut into cubes (like a light banana bread)
For Finishing
  • 1-2 tbsp Unsweetened cocoa powder preferably raw
  • Optional toppings dark chocolate shavings, chia seeds, orange zest, berries

Equipment

  • large bowl
  • Whisk
  • blender
  • Verrines
  • Sieve

Method
 

  1. Pour the plant-based milk into a large bowl. Add the chia seeds, vanilla, and maple syrup. Whisk well, let it sit for 10 minutes, whisk again, and then refrigerate for 3 to 4 hours until it reaches a pudding consistency.
  2. In a blender, combine the plant-based yogurt, silken tofu (or cashews), maple syrup, and lemon juice. Blend until you have a smooth, thick, yet airy cream. Set aside in the refrigerator.
  3. Prepare the strong coffee and stir in the maple syrup. Quickly dip your biscuit pieces into the coffee, ensuring they don't become too soggy. Arrange them at the bottom of each verrine.
  4. Add a layer of the chia pudding, followed by a layer of the plant-based cream. Smooth the surface evenly.
  5. Dust the top with sifted cocoa powder.
  6. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving, ideally 4 hours.
