Faux-Tiramisu (or Tiramisu Overnight Oats)

Faux-Tiramisu (or Tiramisu Overnight Oats)

Ingredients

Makes 2 servings

Espresso Oat Layer

1 cup oats (I used Bob's Red Mill Old Fashioned rolled oats)

3 tablespoons brewed coffee

2 tablespoons maple syrup (or agave syrup or honey)

1 ½ tablespoons chia seeds

1 cup milk of choice (I used oat milk)

Mascarpone Yogurt Layer

¾ cup / 200 gr / 7 oz plain Greek yogurt

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 teaspoon maple syrup (or agave syrup or honey)

Cocoa powder for dusting

Directions

In a bowl, combine the oats, chia seeds, and maple syrup. 

Slowly add the milk and coffee, stirring until fully mixed. 

Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to let the oats absorb the liquid.

For the mascarpone yogurt layer, whisk together the Greek yogurt, vanilla extract, and maple syrup in a  small bowl until smooth. Cover and refrigerate until ready to assemble.

When ready to serve, stir the oat mixture to redistribute any settled ingredients. Spoon about ¼ of the mixture into a small jar, glass, or cup, creating the first layer. 

Add a layer of the mascarpone yogurt mixture on top. Repeat the layering process to create two layers of oats and two layers of mascarpone yogurt.

Dust the top with cocoa powder for a finishing touch. 

Repeat the process for the second jar, glass, or cup.

Serve cold and enjoy!
