Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (90g) rolled oats
- 1 cup (240ml) milk (whole or plant-based like almond or oat milk)
- ½ cup (120g) mascarpone cheese
- ½ cup (120g) plain full-fat Greek yogurt
- 1 tsp espresso powder
- 2 tbsp maple syrup
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder (plus extra for dusting)
- 2 tbsp dark chocolate shavings or mini chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the mascarpone cream: In a medium bowl, whisk together mascarpone cheese and Greek yogurt until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes. Add vanilla extract and maple syrup, then whisk again to combine evenly. If mixture is too thick, add 1 tsp milk to loosen.
- Mix the oats and espresso: In a separate bowl, combine rolled oats, milk, espresso powder, and 1 tablespoon cocoa powder. Stir well and let sit for 5 minutes to soften oats and infuse espresso flavor.
- Combine oats and cream: Fold mascarpone cream into oat mixture gently but thoroughly until velvety with no lumps. Fold in chocolate shavings or mini chips if using.
- Divide into containers: Spoon mixture evenly into 2-3 glass jars or airtight containers. Tap gently to settle oats and smooth tops.
- Chill overnight: Cover and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, preferably overnight, until oats thicken to pudding-like consistency.
- Finish with cocoa dusting: Just before serving, dust tops lightly with unsweetened cocoa powder using a fine mesh sieve or small strainer.
- Serve: Enjoy cold straight from the fridge or let sit at room temperature for 10 minutes for a softer texture.
Notes
Use instant espresso powder for smooth coffee flavor; room temperature mascarpone blends better to avoid lumps. Adjust sweetness with maple syrup to taste. For thicker oats, reduce milk or add chia seeds. Can be made vegan by substituting mascarpone with coconut cream and dairy-free cream cheese and using plant-based yogurt and milk.
