A quick and easy 5-minute prep overnight oats recipe inspired by tiramisu, combining creamy mascarpone, espresso, and oats for a cozy, indulgent breakfast.

Ingredients

Scale
  • ½ cup (45g) rolled oats
  • 3 tablespoons (45g) mascarpone cheese, softened
  • ⅓ cup (80ml) espresso or strong brewed coffee, cooled
  • ½ cup (120ml) milk of choice (whole milk recommended)
  • 2 tablespoons (30g) plain unsweetened Greek yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon (15ml) maple syrup or honey
  • 1 teaspoon (2g) unsweetened cocoa powder, for topping
  • ½ teaspoon (2.5ml) vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • Optional: dark chocolate shavings or mini chocolate chips for topping

Instructions

  1. In a bowl or jar, combine 3 tablespoons of softened mascarpone cheese, ½ cup of milk, 2 tablespoons of Greek yogurt, ⅓ cup of cooled espresso, 1 tablespoon of maple syrup, ½ teaspoon of vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Whisk well until smooth, about 3–4 minutes. If mascarpone is cold, let it sit out for 10 minutes before mixing.
  2. Stir in ½ cup of rolled oats until evenly coated, about 1 minute.
  3. Cover and refrigerate overnight or for at least 6 hours to allow oats to soften and absorb flavors. A minimum of 4 hours can work if in a rush.
  4. Before serving, gently stir the oats. Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of unsweetened cocoa powder on top and optionally add dark chocolate shavings or a dusting of cinnamon. Serve chilled or at room temperature.

Notes

Let mascarpone soften to room temperature before mixing to avoid lumps. Use cooled espresso or strong brewed coffee. Do not add cocoa powder before soaking to prevent bitterness; add fresh as topping. Stir oats well before refrigerating to avoid clumps. Adjust milk quantity to achieve desired consistency before serving. Store leftovers in airtight containers in the fridge up to 3 days. Freezing not recommended.
