Ingredients

Scale

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
  • 12 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

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Coffee: Brew a strong cup of espresso or coffee and let it cool completely to prevent soggy oats and preserve flavor integrity.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
