Description

This Tiramisu Overnight Oats recipe combines the rich flavors of classic tiramisu with the convenience of a no-cook, make-ahead breakfast. Rolled oats soak in brewed coffee and milk overnight, layered with creamy Greek yogurt or mascarpone and a hint of maple syrup and vanilla. Finished with a dusting of cocoa powder and optional dark chocolate shavings, this dish offers a delicious and satisfying start to your day with minimal effort.


Ingredients

Scale

Overnight Oats

  • ½ cup rolled oats
  • ½ cup brewed coffee (cooled)
  • ½ cup milk of choice (dairy or non-dairy)
  • 1–2 tbsp maple syrup or honey
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract

Yogurt Mixture

  • ¼ cup plain Greek yogurt or mascarpone cheese
  • 1 tbsp cream cheese (optional)
  • 1 tbsp powdered sugar (optional)

Garnish

  • ½ tsp unsweetened cocoa powder (for dusting)
  • Dark chocolate shavings (optional, for garnish)


Instructions

  1. Mix Oats and Liquids: In a bowl, combine rolled oats, brewed coffee, milk, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Stir until well mixed, then let it sit for 5 minutes to begin absorbing the liquid.
  2. Prepare Yogurt Mixture: In a separate bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt or mascarpone, cream cheese if using, and powdered sugar until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
  3. Layer the Mixtures: Using a jar or glass, alternately layer the oats mixture and the creamy yogurt mixture, starting with the oats at the bottom and then a layer of the yogurt mixture; repeat the layering once more.
  4. Add Garnish: Dust the top layer with cocoa powder. For an extra tiramisu touch, sprinkle dark chocolate shavings over the cocoa powder.
  5. Refrigerate Overnight: Cover the jar or container tightly and place it in the refrigerator for at least 6 hours or overnight to allow the oats to soften fully and flavors to meld.
  6. Serve and Enjoy: Once chilled and set, enjoy this tiramisu-inspired overnight oats as a tasty breakfast or snack directly from the jar.

Notes

  • You can adjust the sweetness by adding more or less maple syrup or honey according to your taste.
  • For a dairy-free version, use plant-based milk and dairy-free yogurt alternatives.
  • Using mascarpone cheese adds a richer, creamier texture if you want an authentic tiramisu flavor.
  • Cream cheese and powdered sugar are optional; omit if you prefer a lighter or less sweet texture.
  • Ensure the coffee is completely cooled before mixing with the oats to avoid cooking the oats prematurely.
