# How to Make It:
01 - In a medium bowl, whisk together the cream cheese, Greek yogurt, milk, honey or maple syrup, lemon juice, lemon zest, vanilla extract, and salt until completely smooth and well combined.
02 - Stir the rolled oats into the cream cheese mixture until fully coated and evenly distributed throughout the base.
03 - Divide the oat mixture evenly between two jars or containers with lids, ensuring balanced portions in each.
04 - Cover the containers and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight to allow the oats to soften and flavors to meld.
05 - In the morning, stir the oats thoroughly. Top with crushed graham crackers, fresh berries, and a sprinkle of extra lemon zest before enjoying.
# Expert Tips:
01 -
- You get all the creamy tang of lemon cheesecake without turning on your oven or spending an hour in the kitchen
- Meal prep has never tasted this luxurious or felt this effortless
02 -
- The oats continue softening the longer they sit, so if you prefer some chew, 6 hours is your sweet spot
- Adding the graham crackers right before serving is crucial because they turn soggy after sitting in the moisture
03 -
- Room temperature ingredients blend together much more smoothly than cold ones straight from the fridge
- Taste your mixture before chilling—the flavors will mellow slightly overnight, so it should taste just a bit more zesty than your final preference
