The image shows a small glass jar filled with a dessert made of three main layers: the bottom layer is light beige oats, the middle layer is creamy white yogurt mixed with bits of red strawberries, and the top layer has a mix of oats and fresh red strawberry slices with a whole strawberry standing upright in the center. Rich caramel sauce is drizzled over the top and running down the sides of the jar, pooling on a white plate with a brown rim underneath.

  • Frozen strawberries work just as well as fresh, especially during off-season months.
  • For added texture, mix in some nuts like almonds or pecans.
  • For a richer flavor, add a spoonful of strawberry jam or puree into the layers.

How to Serve

A small clear glass jar holds a layered dessert with about four layers: the bottom layer is light beige oatmeal, followed by a creamy white layer mixed with bits of red strawberries, then a layer of pure white cream, topped with chopped red strawberry pieces and white oats. A whole red strawberry with green leaves stands upright in the center. Thick caramel sauce is drizzled over the top and flows down the sides of the jar onto the white plate beneath it. The plate rests on a white marbled surface, and a metal spoon is visible behind the jar. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7
