Main Ingredients
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup milk or milk alternative
- 1/4 cup mascarpone cheese or Greek yogurt
- 1/3 cup strong brewed coffee or espresso, cooled
- 1–2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Toppings
- Cocoa powder, for dusting
- Optional: chocolate shavings, finely ground espresso beans, fresh raspberries or strawberries, chopped toasted almonds or walnuts
- Prepare the Coffee: Brew a strong cup of espresso or coffee and let it cool completely to prevent soggy oats and preserve flavor integrity.
- Mix the Base Ingredients: In a bowl or jar, combine the rolled oats, cooled coffee, milk, mascarpone cheese or Greek yogurt, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Stir thoroughly to ensure even incorporation.
- Refrigerate Overnight: Cover the mixture and place it in the refrigerator for at least 6 hours or overnight to allow the oats to absorb the flavors and soften beautifully.
- Add the Finishing Touches: Before serving, gently stir the oats and sprinkle a generous layer of cocoa powder on top to create the classic tiramisu look and taste. Add optional toppings like chocolate shavings, ground espresso beans, or fresh berries as desired.
Notes
- Use quality coffee for richer flavor.
- Adjust sweetness according to taste; start with less and add more if needed.
- Opt for rolled oats as they absorb liquids well without turning mushy.
- For a tiramisu-like presentation, layer the oats and mascarpone mixture.
- Mix gently before serving to maintain creamy texture contrast.
- Can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Freezing is possible but not recommended; thaw overnight in the fridge before eating.
- To reheat, microwave gently for 30-45 seconds, stirring halfway through to avoid curdling.
