Ingredients
Method
- In a medium bowl or a jar with a lid, whisk together the milk, Greek yogurt, softened cream cheese, maple syrup (or honey), vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Ensure the cream cheese is well incorporated and there are no lumps.1 cup milk, 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt, 2 tablespoons cream cheese, 1-2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract, pinch salt
- Add the rolled oats to the wet ingredients. Stir everything together thoroughly, making sure all the oats are submerged in the liquid. This step is crucial for the oats to absorb the liquid and soften overnight.1/2 cup rolled oats
- Cover the bowl or seal the jar tightly. Place it in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight. This allows the oats to soften and the mixture to thicken into a delicious, pudding-like consistency.
- In the morning, give the overnight oats a good stir. If the mixture is too thick for your liking, you can add a splash more milk or yogurt until you reach your desired consistency.1 cup milk, 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
- Spoon the Creamy Cheesecake Overnight Oats into a bowl or serving glass. Now comes the fun part: add your favorite toppings! Fresh berries add a burst of tartness, chopped nuts provide a delightful crunch, and a sprinkle of graham cracker crumbs really amplifies the cheesecake experience. A little extra dollop of Greek yogurt or a swirl of whipped cream elevates it further. Enjoy immediately!fresh berries, chopped nuts, graham cracker crumbs, extra Greek yogurt or whipped cream
Notes
Store leftover overnight oats in an airtight container or the jar you made them in. They will stay fresh in the refrigerator for up to 3 to 4 days. The texture might change slightly over these days, becoming even softer. While not ideal for the creamiest texture, you *can* freeze overnight oats. For best results, freeze them *before* adding any fresh fruit toppings. Place them in individual freezer-safe containers or bags. They can be stored in the freezer for up to 1 month. Overnight oats are designed to be eaten cold. However, if you prefer them warm, you can gently reheat them. Transfer the oats to a microwave-safe bowl and heat on low power for 30-60 seconds, stirring halfway through. Be cautious not to overheat, as this can make them mushy. If reheating from frozen, allow them to thaw in the refrigerator overnight before gently reheating.
