A tropical, creamy breakfast (or snack!) with a fun crackable chocolate top – ready in about 10 minutes plus setting time.
🛒 Ingredients (Serves 2)
For the blended oats base🥭
- 90 g rolled oats
- 125 ml milk of choice (e.g., oat or soy)
- 80 g fresh mango, chopped
- 110 g Greek-style yogurt (can be plant-based)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp maple syrup (optional sweetener)
- Pinch of salt
For the white chocolate shell:
- 60 g white chocolate (vegan options work well)
- 2 tsp coconut oil (optional — helps thin the chocolate and gives a smoother shell)
👩🍳 Instructions
1. Make the Blended Oats
Add the rolled oats, milk, chopped mango, yogurt, vanilla, maple syrup (if using), and a pinch of salt to a blender. Blend until you get a smooth, cake-batter like texture – thick but creamy.
2. Assemble in Serving Jars
Pour the blended oat mixture into jars or bowls. You can layer extra mango chunks at the bottom first for more fruity bites.
3. Prepare the White Chocolate Shell
Melt the white chocolate and coconut oil together. You can:
- Microwave: in short bursts, stirring frequently to avoid overheating.
- Double boiler / Bain-Marie: melt gently over simmering water for smooth results.
4. Add the Chocolate Shell
Pour the melted chocolate evenly over the tops of the blended oats so it forms a layer that will set into a shell.
5. Chill to Set
Place the jars in the fridge for 2–3 hours or overnight so the chocolate shell hardens and the oats firm up.
🍽️ Tips & Variations
- Meal-Prep Friendly: These keep well in the fridge for up to 4–5 days, making them great for quick breakfasts or snacks.
- Toppings: Add coconut flakes, sliced almonds, fresh berries, or chia seeds after chilling for extra flavor and texture.
- Milk Choice: Use dairy or any plant milk; plant milks (like oat or soy) keep it vegan and creamy.
- Shell Substitutions: You can use regular white chocolate, vegan white chocolate, or even try dark chocolate if you prefer richer flavor.
🥣 Serving & Enjoyment
Once the chocolate shell is firm, crack it open with your spoon and enjoy the contrast of creamy, tropical oats beneath a crisp top layer. This dish feels like dessert for breakfast!
