Instructions

Prepare the Oats: In a bowl, mix rolled oats, brewed coffee, milk, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes to begin softening the oats.
Make the Creamy Mixture: In another bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt or mascarpone, cream cheese (if using), and powdered sugar until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Layer the Ingredients: In a jar or container, alternate layering the oats mixture and the creamy yogurt mixture, starting with the oats, followed by the yogurt, and repeat until all mixtures are used.
Add Toppings: Dust the top layer with unsweetened cocoa powder and garnish with dark chocolate shavings if desired to enhance the tiramisu flavor.
Refrigerate: Cover the jar or container tightly and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or ideally overnight to allow the oats to fully soak and flavors to meld.
Serve: Enjoy the chilled tiramisu-inspired overnight oats as a wholesome and delicious breakfast or snack.

Notes

Use strong brewed coffee for a more intense flavor.
Maple syrup or honey can be adjusted to your preferred level of sweetness.
The cream cheese and powdered sugar are optional but add to the richness and authenticity of the tiramisu flavor.
For a vegan version, use non-dairy milk and yogurt alternatives and omit cream cheese or use a vegan substitute.
Ensure the coffee is cooled before mixing with oats to avoid cooking them prematurely.
The oats should be left to soak for at least 6 hours to achieve the best texture.
