Pear and White Chocolate Overnight Oat Parfait

Another Pear recipe? Yep. I seem to find one ingredient, most likely the one just going out of season, and fixate on it. Last week was pumpkin, the recipes will be up within this week, and the week before was pears.

 
I'm gonna have to buy more chia seeds. Many more. With all the overnight oat recipes I want to try where flaxseed just won't work. Not that it wouldn't 'gel up' sufficiently, just not look as clean and pretty.

 
I love white chocolate. Not as much as dark or milk. But its chocolate. Saying that its just cocoa fat and milk. But you gotta live a little right? I already have a few recipes with pears and chocolate, but their all dark, so I thought I would try something different. Don't worry, this pear is not poached. But you could poach it if you wish.

Pear and White Chocolate Overnight Oat Parfait

Ingredients:

Oats:
1/2 Cup/40g Rolled Oats
1/2 Cup/120ml Milk of choice
1 Tsp Maple syrup or sweetener of choice
1 Tsp Chai seeds
1/2 Tsp Vanilla Extract
 
1 Ripe Pear, peeled and chopped
Pearsauce, homemade or baby food like I used
 
4-5 TBSP Yogurt of choice, I used Greek
Big handful of white chocolate chips or bar

Method:

1. Mix up all the oat ingredients in a mason jar/bowl/jug, cover and chill in the fridge overnight or for at least four hours.
2. Melt chocolate in the microwave on 20 second blasts till melted, be carefully not to burn it. Once almost cold add the yogurt. Start with 2 TBSPs and add 1 at a time tasting each time make sure it still tastes of the chocolate. It should be an off white and if your chocolate is still warm when you add the yogurt the mix will become grainy. But don't worry it still tastes good.
3. In a mason jar/glass layer the pearsauce, oats, yogurt and pear until all are used up or your glass is full. Enjoy!
