Ingredients
  

For the Lemon Curd
  • 4 large Egg Yolks Provides richness and makes the lemon curd smooth.
  • 1 cup Granulated Sugar Sweetens the curd; honey can be a natural alternative.
  • 1/2 cup Lemon Juice Adds tangy flavor; fresh juice is best for brightness.
  • 1 tablespoon Grated Lemon Zest Enhances flavor; finely grated to avoid bitterness.
  • 1/4 cup Unsalted Butter Adds creaminess; vegan butter can be used for dairy-free.
For the Overnight Oats
  • 1 cup Old-Fashioned Rolled Oats The core ingredient for ideal texture; avoid quick oats.
  • 1 cup Greek Yogurt Adds creaminess and protein; can be swapped with dairy-free yogurt.
  • 1 cup 2% or Skim Milk Liquid base for the oats; substitute with almond or oat milk if desired.
  • 2 tablespoons Honey or Agave Nectar Natural sweetener; maple syrup can also be used.
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract Enhances overall flavor; opt for pure vanilla for best results.
For the Raspberry Sauce
  • 1 cup Fresh or Frozen Raspberries Adds fruit flavor and color; substitute with other berries if preferred.
  • 2 tablespoons Granulated Sugar Helps macerate the fruit; brown sugar offers a rich alternative.
  • 1 tablespoon Lemon Juice Brightens raspberry flavor; a splash of orange juice works nicely too.

Equipment

  • double boiler
  • Mason jar or bowl
  • Small Bowl

Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Make the Lemon Curd: In a double boiler, combine large egg yolks, granulated sugar, fresh lemon juice, and grated lemon zest. Whisk continuously over simmering water for about 8-10 minutes until the mixture thickens and coats the back of a spoon. Remove from heat, gradually add unsalted butter, whisking until smooth. Allow the lemon curd to cool before transferring it to the refrigerator to set.
  2. Prepare the Overnight Oats: In a large mason jar or bowl, mix together old-fashioned rolled oats, milk, Greek yogurt, honey, and vanilla extract. Seal the jar tightly and shake vigorously to ensure all ingredients are well combined. Place the jar in the refrigerator and allow it to chill for a minimum of 8 hours—or overnight.
  3. Make the Raspberry Sauce: In a small bowl, gently combine fresh or frozen raspberries with granulated sugar and a splash of lemon juice. Allow the mixture to sit for about 5 minutes, letting the sugar draw out the fruit juices and create a vibrant raspberry sauce.
  4. Assemble the Dish: Once your oats are fully set, remove them from the refrigerator. Spoon a generous layer of the chilled oat mixture into jars or bowls, followed by dollops of the raspberry sauce and smooth lemon curd. Swirl the layers together gently for a beautiful presentation.
