Layer and mix purée with cream cheese to create a cheesecake-style overnight oats topping
Mix cream cheese into part of a fruit purée, then layer it in a jar for a cheesecake-like overnight oats texture.
Blend fruit into a smooth purée, then stir cream cheese into only part of the purée to make a thicker, cheesecake-style layer. Add that layer to the jar before topping with the remaining fruit mixture.
The short version
- Use only part of the purée with cream cheese to create distinct layers
- Mixing in-jar creates a thicker, cheesecake-like layer without baking
What you need
