Ingredients
-
2¾ cups reduced-fat milk
-
2¼ cups old-fashioned rolled oats
-
½ cup whole-milk plain strained (Greek-style) yogurt
-
¼ cup chopped salted roasted pistachios plus 1 tablespoon, divided
-
2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar, divided
-
1 tablespoon white or black chia seeds
-
1 tablespoon vanilla extract plus ½ teaspoon, divided
-
¼ teaspoon salt
-
¾ cup part-skim ricotta cheese
-
1 teaspoon grated orange zest
-
3 tablespoons semisweet chocolate chips
-
1 teaspoon unrefined coconut oil
Directions
- Combine 2¾ cups milk, 2¼ cups oats, ½ cup yogurt, ¼ cup pistachios, 1 tablespoon each confectioners’ sugar, chia seeds and vanilla and ¼ teaspoon salt in a medium bowl; stir to mix well. Cover and refrigerate for at least 8 hours.
- Spread ¾ cup ricotta on a paper-towel-lined plate; top with more paper towels. Gently press down to remove excess moisture; let stand at room temperature for 10 minutes. Transfer the ricotta to a small bowl. (Alternatively, place ricotta in a double layer of cheesecloth. Gather the cheesecloth up around the ricotta; gently squeeze out any excess liquid.)
- Whisk 1 teaspoon orange zest and the remaining 1 tablespoon confectioners’ sugar and ½ teaspoon vanilla into the ricotta until fully combined.
-
Spoon ½ cup oat mixture into each of 4 (8-ounce) jars. Top each with 3 tablespoons ricotta mixture, then top each with ½ cup oat mixture.
-
Stir 3 tablespoons chocolate chips and 1 teaspoon coconut oil together in a small microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on High until the chocolate chips are melted, 45 to 60 seconds. Stir until the chocolate chips are completely melted and incorporated into the oil. Spoon about 2 teaspoons of the melted chocolate over each jar, spreading to cover the entire surface. Refrigerate, uncovered, until the chocolate layer is almost fully set, about 5 minutes. Sprinkle the chocolate with the remaining 1 tablespoon pistachios. Refrigerate the jars, uncovered, until the chocolate is fully set, about 5 minutes.
