# Expert Tips:
01 -
- It tastes like dessert for breakfast but keeps you full until lunch
- The espresso gives you a gentle morning wake-up without the jitters
02 -
- The chia seeds need time to fully hydrate or the texture will be off, so dont try to eat this sooner than 8 hours
- Make sure your espresso is completely cooled before mixing, otherwise it might melt the mascarpone
03 -
- Let the jars sit on the counter for 10 minutes before eating if you prefer them less chilled
- A splash of coffee liqueur in the tiramisu layer makes an excellent adults-only version
