Notes

Coffee option: You can use coffee concentrate or instant coffee powder. If using instant coffee, dissolve it fully in hot water first.

Vanilla: Vanilla paste gives a lovely rounded flavour, but vanilla extract works well too.

Texture tip: Make the whipped coffee mixture right before serving if you make it ahead and keep it at refrigrater, it gets too thick.

Sweetness option: Add honey, maple syrup, stevia, or your preferred sweetener to the chia pudding if you like it sweeter.

Coffee topping sweetness: Add an extra spoonful of honey to the whipped coffee if you prefer a sweeter topping.

Why this version is special: This honey-based whipped topping stays thicker and stable than many quick dalgona versions that are foamy not thick, it giving it that elegant cloud-like finish.

Diet notes: Naturally dairy-free, gluten-free and vegetarian, not vegan as written because it uses honey.
Serving : This recipe yields 2 servings. For smaller portions, you can divide it into 4 smaller servings for a light afternoon dessert.
