Instructions

Prepare the Oats: In a mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, brewed coffee, milk, maple syrup or honey, and vanilla extract. Stir well and let the mixture sit for 5 minutes to allow the oats to start absorbing the liquid.
Make the Creamy Mixture: In a separate bowl, whisk together the plain Greek yogurt or mascarpone cheese, cream cheese (if using), and powdered sugar until smooth and creamy, ensuring no lumps remain.
Layer the Ingredients: Take a jar or a container with a lid and layer the oats mixture and the creamy mixture alternately. Begin with a layer of oats mixture, then add a layer of the creamy yogurt, and repeat to fill the jar.
Add Toppings: Dust the top layer with unsweetened cocoa powder for that signature tiramisu touch. Optionally, garnish with dark chocolate shavings to enhance flavor and presentation.
Refrigerate: Cover the jar or container with a lid or plastic wrap and refrigerate it for at least 6 hours or preferably overnight. This resting time allows the oats to fully soften and the flavors to meld beautifully.
Serve: Remove from the refrigerator and enjoy this tiramisu-inspired overnight oats chilled as a delicious and energy-boosting breakfast or snack.

Notes

You can adjust the sweetness by varying the amount of maple syrup or honey according to your taste.
For a vegan version, use plant-based milk and a dairy-free yogurt alternative, and replace honey with maple syrup.
This recipe can be doubled or tripled to serve more people and stored in separate jars for convenience.
If you prefer a stronger coffee flavor, use espresso or concentrate your brewed coffee before mixing.
Adding a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg can add an extra layer of flavor to the creamy mixture.
