A creamy and indulgent overnight oats recipe inspired by tiramisu, combining mascarpone, espresso, and cocoa for a quick, healthy breakfast with a sophisticated flavor.

Ingredients

Scale
  • ½ cup (45g) rolled oats (old-fashioned)
  • ¼ cup (60g) mascarpone cheese, softened
  • ⅓ cup (80ml) espresso or strong brewed coffee, cooled
  • ⅓ cup (80ml) milk of choice (whole, almond, or oat milk)
  • 2 tablespoons (30g) Greek yogurt, plain and full-fat
  • 1 tablespoon (15ml) maple syrup or honey
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon unsweetened cocoa powder (for dusting)
  • Dark chocolate shavings or mini chocolate chips (optional, for garnish)
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Brew about ⅓ cup (80ml) of espresso or very strong coffee and let it cool completely.
  2. In a bowl, combine cooled espresso, milk of choice, maple syrup or honey, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Stir until sweetener dissolves.
  3. In another bowl, gently whisk mascarpone and Greek yogurt until smooth and creamy.
  4. Add rolled oats to the espresso mixture and stir well to coat evenly.
  5. Carefully fold mascarpone mixture into the oat mixture until creamy and uniform without overmixing.
  6. Spoon mixture evenly into two 8-ounce (250ml) jars or containers and seal tightly.
  7. Refrigerate for at least 6-8 hours or overnight to allow oats to soften and thicken.
  8. Before serving, dust the top with unsweetened cocoa powder using a fine sieve and optionally sprinkle with dark chocolate shavings or mini chocolate chips.
  9. Serve chilled straight from the jar or transfer to a bowl.

Notes

Use old-fashioned rolled oats for best texture. Ensure mascarpone is softened to avoid lumps. Adjust espresso strength to taste to avoid bitterness. If oats are too thick in the morning, stir in a splash of milk. Store in fridge up to 3 days. Not recommended to freeze. For dairy-free or vegan versions, substitute mascarpone and yogurt with coconut cream and dairy-free yogurt, and use plant-based milk and sweeteners.
