Get the oats and chia mixture just right
To achieve the perfect texture, it's crucial to get the oats and chia mixture just right. Start by using rolled oats, which absorb liquid well and soften overnight without becoming overly mushy. Ensure the mixture is well combined with the milk and yogurt, as this blend will provide a rich and creamy base that enhances the tiramisu flavour profile.
If possible, give your overnight oats a gentle stir after two hours of refrigeration, helping to distribute the ingredients more evenly and preventing any clumps from forming.
Mixing techniques for extra smooth quark
To achieve extra smooth consistency, start by using a whisk or handheld mixer to beat the quark thoroughly before incorporating it into the oats mixture. This helps to break down any lumps and create a smoother texture. Alternatively, you can pass the quark through a fine mesh sieve to remove any remaining lumps or solids, resulting in a silky consistency.
Gradually fold the quark into the oats mixture using a spatula or spoon, ensuring it is evenly distributed. This method not only enhances the creamy texture but also ensures that the tiramisu flavours are well-integrated throughout the dish. These techniques will help you create a deliciously smooth and satisfying treat reminiscent of tiramisu.
Customise your coffee flavour
To change the coffee strength in your tiramisu overnight oats, simply brew the coffee stronger or weaker. Alternatively, use less coffee and top up with water until you have reached the same amount of liquid (50 ml in total).
Ace the presentation part
For an appealing presentation, serve your tiramisu overnight oats in unique bowls such as stemmed dessert glasses, elegant porcelain bowls, or mason jars to show off the snack’s layers. Or, for a charming and whimsical touch, serve them in espresso or coffee cups to hint at one of the treat’s main ingredients.
Add different flavours and textures by pairing your oats with complementary snacks like crunchy oat protein cookies, salted caramel protein bars, or peanut butter protein balls.
Ingredients selection for optimal texture
For the ideal texture in tiramisu overnight oats, choose rolled oats as described in the tips section. Selecting fresh chia seeds is also crucial: they should be plump, uniform in size and dark in colour. This ensures they will hydrate evenly and create a creamy, pudding-like consistency.
