Expert Tips
- Since this recipe relies on the flavors of coffee, cocoa, and mascarpone cheese, using high-quality ingredients will enhance the overall taste.
- Everyone has different preferences when it comes to sweetness and the intensity of coffee. Feel free to adjust the amount of maple syrup to suit your desired level of sweetness. You can customize the strength of the coffee flavor by using more or less brewed coffee.
Variations
- Protein: Stir in a scoop of your favorite vanilla or chocolate protein powder.
- Chia: For a pudding-like consistency, replace a portion of the rolled oats with chia seeds. Use a 1:1 ratio of chia seeds to oats, and let the mixture sit in the refrigerator overnight.
- Espresso: If you're a coffee lover and enjoy a stronger coffee flavor, increase the amount of brewed coffee in the recipe. You can also experiment with different types of coffee beans or add a shot of espresso for an extra kick of caffeine.
Storing & Freezing
Storing: Transfer any leftovers to an airtight container or jar. Store the oats in the refrigerator for up to 3 to 4 days.

Recipe FAQ's
While instant oats can be used as a substitute, the texture of the oats may be softer. Rolled oats are recommended as they provide a heartier texture and better absorb the flavors.
You can use Greek yogurt as a substitute.
Tiramisu overnight oats are traditionally served chilled, but if you prefer warm oats, you can heat them in the microwave or on the stovetop.
