Tiramisu Overnight Oats (Printable)
Coffee-soaked oats with mascarpone and cocoa for a rich Italian-inspired breakfast treat.
# What You'll Need:
→ Oats Base
01 - 1 cup rolled oats
02 - 1 cup whole milk or plant-based milk
03 - 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
04 - 2 tablespoons chia seeds
05 - 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup or honey
06 - 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
→ Coffee Mixture
07 - 1/4 cup strong brewed coffee, cooled to room temperature
→ Mascarpone Layer
08 - 1/4 cup mascarpone cheese
09 - 2 tablespoons Greek yogurt
10 - 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup
→ Toppings
11 - 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder for dusting
12 - Dark chocolate shavings, optional
# How-To Steps:
01 - In a medium mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, milk, Greek yogurt, chia seeds, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Stir thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
02 - Pour the cooled brewed coffee over the oat mixture and fold gently until the coffee is fully blended throughout.
03 - Divide the oat mixture evenly between two jars or airtight containers, pressing lightly to level the surface.
04 - In a small bowl, blend the mascarpone cheese, Greek yogurt, and maple syrup together until smooth and creamy with no lumps remaining.
05 - Spoon the mascarpone mixture over the oats in each jar, spreading it into an even layer across the top.
06 - Seal the jars tightly with lids and refrigerate for a minimum of 6 to 8 hours. This resting period allows the oats to absorb the liquid and the flavors to develop fully.
07 - Before serving, use a fine mesh sieve to dust the tops generously with unsweetened cocoa powder. Add dark chocolate shavings if desired. Serve chilled directly from the jar.
# Expert Advice:
01 -
- It captures everything you crave about tiramisu but takes ten minutes of effort and zero cooking.
- The mascarpone layer thickens overnight into something shockingly close to actual tiramisu cream.
02 -
- Hot coffee will curdle the yogurt on contact, so patience here actually matters for texture.
- The oats need the full eight hours to truly soften and anything less leaves you with a slightly gritty bite.
03 -
- A pinch of salt in the oat base makes the coffee flavor pop in a way you will notice immediately.
- Dusting the cocoa through a fine sieve instead of shaking it directly prevents clumps and looks ten times better.
