Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) rolled oats
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) brewed espresso or strong coffee (cooled)
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) milk of choice (dairy or plant-based)
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) Greek yogurt (or dairy-free alternative)
Sweeteners and Flavor Enhancers:
- 1 tablespoon (15 ml) maple syrup or honey
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon maple syrup
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
Toppings and Additional Ingredients:
- 1 teaspoon chia seeds
- 1 teaspoon unsweetened cocoa powder
- Optional: Dark chocolate shavings or chopped nuts
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Craft a robust, aromatic coffee and allow it to reach room temperature, releasing its full-bodied essence.
- Select a glass vessel or ceramic container and delicately blend rolled oats, chia seeds, cooled coffee, creamy milk, liquid maple nectar, warming cinnamon, and pure vanilla extract until thoroughly incorporated.
- Prepare a velvety yogurt stratum by whisking Greek yogurt with smooth maple syrup and delicate vanilla until achieving a luxurious, consistent texture.
- Create an elegant visual composition by gently distributing the initial oat mixture along the bottom of your chosen vessel, then carefully drape a layer of the silken yogurt preparation atop.
- Repeat the stratification process, establishing alternating bands of coffee-infused oats and creamy yogurt for maximum sensory appeal.
- Seal the container with a secure lid and nestle into the refrigerator’s cool embrace, allowing the ingredients to meld and mature for a minimum of 4-6 hours, ideally throughout the nocturnal hours.
- Before serving, optional garnish with a subtle dusting of cocoa powder or a sprinkle of dark chocolate shavings to evoke the classic tiramisu inspiration.
Notes
- Brew a robust coffee or espresso to infuse deep, rich flavor into the oats, enhancing the classic tiramisu taste.
- Use cold brew or chilled coffee for a smoother, less bitter profile that complements the creamy texture.
- Swap dairy milk with almond or oat milk to create a vegan-friendly version that maintains the luxurious consistency.
- Dust cocoa powder between layers for an authentic tiramisu experience, adding depth and traditional Italian flair.
