👩🍳 Step-By-Step Instructions
1️⃣ Make the Oat Layer
In a bowl or jar, mix:
• Oats
• Almond milk
• Protein powder
• Chia seeds
• Espresso
• Sweetener
• Vanilla
• Pinch salt
Stir very well so protein powder dissolves fully.
Let sit 5 minutes → stir again to prevent clumping.
2️⃣ Blend the Cream Layer
In a blender:
• Cottage cheese
• Greek yogurt
• Sweetener
• Vanilla
Blend until smooth and fluffy like mascarpone cream.
This removes the cottage cheese texture completely.
3️⃣ Layer Like Tiramisu
In a jar:
Layer 1: Half oat mixture
Layer 2: Half protein cream
Layer 3: Remaining oats
Layer 4: Remaining cream
Smooth the top.
Dust generously with cocoa powder.
4️⃣ Chill
Refrigerate:
Minimum 4 hours
Best texture: Overnight
The oats soften and become cake-like.
