100 ml of vegetable milk (e.g. soy or almond)
5 g of neutral gelatine (optional)

Procedure
Creamy base: in a glass container (preferably rectangular), pour the oats, chia seeds and yogurt. Add half of the plant-based milk and mix well with a spatula or spoon until the mixture is uniform. Pour the remaining milk, mix again, close with the lid and put in the fridge.
Strawberry Compote: If the strawberries are frozen, place them in a saucepan over low heat for about 5 minutes until they soften and start to release liquid. Add the neutral gelatin powder, mix well to avoid lumps and make the consistency slightly thicker. Sweeten to taste if the strawberries are too acidic.
Assembly: Pour the hot strawberries on the yogurt and oat base, distributing them evenly. Also add the juice released during cooking. Close with the lid and place in the fridge overnight. In the morning you will find a layered, creamy, fresh and compact dessert/collation.
