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
  • 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 the Finish
  • 1-2 tbsp Unsweetened cocoa powder (preferably raw)
  • optional Dark chocolate shavings, chia seeds, orange zest, red 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 sit for 10 minutes, whisk again, and refrigerate for 3 to 4 hours until pudding-like.
  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 a tablespoon of maple syrup. Quickly dip your biscuit pieces into the coffee, being careful not to soak them completely. Arrange them at the bottom of each verrine.
  4. Add a layer of chia pudding, followed by a layer of the plant-based cream. Smooth the surface.
  5. Sprinkle with sifted cocoa powder.
  6. Chill for at least 1 hour before serving, ideally 4 hours.
