If you don’t know what that is, it’s vanilla ice cream swirled with orange sherbet. Mmmmm. It’s the ice cream version of orange “dreamsicle,” which I believe is one of the world’s best flavors. 🙂
I spent a while tweaking this recipe in my head before I put it to practice. I badly wanted it to be vegan, and I wasn’t willing to compromise that. It wasn’t until recently (when I moved to the east coast) that I found access to affordable nondairy yogurt, and I realized it was the perfect missing link to this recipe.
Overnight Orange Dreamsicle Oatmeal
What you'll need:
- 1/2 cup rolled oats (I use Country Choice Organic)
- 1/3 cup milk of choice
- 1/4 cup vanilla-flavored yogurt (I like Amande almond yogurt for this)
- 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp chia seeds
- pinch of salt
- 1 orange
How to make it:
- Combine all ingredients except the orange in a mason jar.
- Run a paring knife along the edges of the orange segments, and then spoon/cut out the segments into the mason jar.
- If you'd like to add any extra ingredients (coconut oil, dried fruit, nuts, sunflower seeds), do so now.
- Cover, and shake vigorously!
- Store in the fridge for several hours or overnight. Eat cold.
