# How to Make:

01 - In a medium bowl, combine oats, milk, yogurt, chia seeds, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Stir thoroughly until well incorporated.
02 - In a small bowl, whisk together espresso, mascarpone cheese, cocoa powder, and maple syrup until completely smooth and creamy.
03 - Spoon half of the oat mixture evenly into two jars or bowls.
04 - Top each jar with half of the tiramisu mixture, spreading gently to cover the oats.
05 - Add remaining oat mixture to each container, followed by the remaining tiramisu layer.
06 - Cover containers and refrigerate overnight for at least 8 hours to allow flavors to meld and oats to soften.
07 - Before serving, dust generously with cocoa powder and sprinkle with chocolate shavings if desired.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • Waking up to something that tastes like dessert but fuels your entire morning
  • The layers look gorgeous in clear jars, making meal prep feel genuinely fancy
02 -
  • The first time I rushed the chilling time and the flavors were still strangers, so don't skimp on those overnight hours
  • Mascarpone can curdle if you mix it too aggressively, so fold it gently into your espresso mixture
03 -
  • Let your espresso cool completely before mixing it, otherwise the mascarpone might separate and ruin that silky texture
  • Dust the cocoa powder through a fine mesh strainer for that Instagram-worthy even coating without any clumps
