Mix the chia base – In a bowl, stir chia seeds, almond milk, Greek yogurt, honey, and vanilla. Make sure seeds are well coated. Let it sit for 10–15 minutes to thicken slightly, stirring halfway.
Prep the coffee layer – In a small bowl, dissolve the instant coffee in a tablespoon of warm water. Add a tiny drizzle of milk if you want it creamier.
Layer like a pro – Take a glass or small jar. Start with 1–2 ladyfingers at the bottom, drizzle with coffee mixture. Spoon a layer of chia pudding on top. Sprinkle a little cocoa powder. Repeat until you reach the top of your jar.
Chill and firm up – Pop the jars in the fridge for at least 2 hours (overnight is even better). This lets chia seeds expand and soak up all the flavors.
Final touches – Right before serving, top with chocolate shavings, cocoa dust, or berries. Don’t be shy—presentation counts, even if it’s just for you.
