My daughter has IBS and is on low Fodmap diet and I must say with some adjustments your recipes have made her menu expand and much more exciting for her. Thank you soooo much. Hvala!
That's amazing, I'm so happy I'm able to help with my recipes! It does take some effort, but I believe that we can adjust most of the dishes and dessert to our needs. Thanks for your kind feedback! Enjoy your summer guys!
@@HowToCookSmartercan I substitute ricotta cheese with cottage cheese or cream cheese

You're very welcome! Have fun!
Lemon is one of my favourite flavours, this looks so so good🥺🥺🥺 I have to try this! Thank you
Lemon desserts are the best! Have fun!
This is "Amazing" and budget friendly ❤ I love anything lemon 🍋
This is not budget friendly clearly you don't know the price of the crap that goes into this especially the honey and maple syrup
I love lemon desserts too, and this is the healthy lemony goodness... super delicious, give it a try, you'll love it.
@lanaprowse3269 It's budget friendly when your a smart shopper like me 😊
Looks good.
Thanks, give it a try!
There's a lot of lemon flavor in the zest, so it seems like including maybe a half a teaspoon or so of it in the lemon curd and/or the filling would help.
Sure, that would be just great, just don't prefer to zest store-bought lemons, and homegrown are not available on a farmers market.
Making this STAT 👏🏼
Hope you'll enjoy it!
Thankkks ❤❤❤❤❤
You're so welcome! Sending back love!
Great I will use quinoa flakes instead of Oats so protein to counteract the sweetness
Love the idea of using quinoa in this recipe!
thank you for the egg free high protein dessert i always wanted to try lemon cheesecake but they always use eggs to make the top layer, definitely trying this! ☺️
You don't use eggs for the top of a cheesecake you use gelatin and lots of people use lemon curd for the top of cheesecake
You're welcome! Love this no bake method, it's just the easier approach to cheesecake, I'm not using cream cheese, or gelatin, so it's a bit softer then a regular cheesecake, which doesn't really matter when you make it in the jar.
have you ever tried boiling whole oat groats? they are kind of more fresh than dry milled/rolled oat(meal), consider that they also still sprout if you seed them, so you can consider those are still alive in a way. Anyway, they are very good and interesting too cook with also, you should try it.
Not really, but I cook barley occasionally and use in some of our traditional dishes. Do you have any suggestions how to use cooked whole oats?
@@HowToCookSmarter I often eat them with mixed nuts, cinnamon, and frozen blueberries, but they can go well with lots of things
@@voiceoftreason1760 I like to cook a pot of steel cut oats, add chia and goodlies like you mention. Delicious! Since I often add greek yogurt, too, I'm going to add lemon next time as well. Great ideas in these comments 🙂
Odlično😍
Hvala Ines, pozz!
Mine is a simpler version. I make my regular overnight oats with chia seeds, yoghurt and lemon extract. I often make them when I get up and chill in the frig before breakfast.
That's great! I just decided to complicate things a bit and turn my regular overnight oats into a decadent dessert.
i will tell my mom to make some
Hope you'll like it!
How'd you make the curd without it curdling? I tried what you said and it ended up curdling the milk for me. One difference is that I used xanthan gum instead of cornstarch because I didn't have any and I read that it was a good substitute. Any suggestions?
I hate lemons, but swap in berry topping and it's a hit for me.
That would be a great combo too!
It always makes me happy seeing Serbian products in your videos!
Hi neighbour! And I saw Bulgarian milk too. 😆
I guess we have same food suppliers, like Lidl, or Konzum (Idea)...
Hi! I just enjoyed Bulgarian cream for my dinner last night:)
@@HowToCookSmarter omg that didn't even cross my mind! Amazing, and yes we shop at Idea and Lidl too!
@@milicagosic I prefer locally grown food, but you can't really find all those ingredients on farmers market, so Lidl is our saviour:) Sending hugs from Osijek!
Nice Sasha
Thanks for watching Robert!
Looks so yummy! However could I use just plain coconut yoghurt for filling. Thank you. 😃👍🏼
Glad you like the recipe! Sure, you can use coconut yogurt too, maybe you should strain it before adding to the mixture.
This is a healthy dessert breakfast.
Exactly!
This is so expensive, all the ingredients I mean, especially in the Caribbean but glad to see can you substitute cheese with what?an ricotta cheese is VERY EXPENSIVE HERE BU LOVE❤❤ THE LOOK OF IT
Same here in India, I wonder what could be used for a substitute too. Maybe a soft cottage cheese
Yes, I can understand, but this recipe is pretty forgiving, you can use any type of soft cheese you usually buy.
Hi Rolmaguiland, I’ve recently been thrilled with whizzing “cottage cheese” in a small food processor to give it a creamy ricotta like texture. Don’t get me wrong. I love ricotta cheese, but I also think cottage cheese has more nutritional benefits. Perhaps cottage cheese is easier for you to get where you live? I hope this helps.
Are you using regular greek yogurt or 0% fat for this recipe? Either way, amazing looking treat, and also looks pretty good as a breakfast for a lemon lover like me, can't wait to try it!
probably regular as 0% will make you fat
Greek yogurt
I use regular Greek yogurt all the time, I'm just not into these 0% products. Yeah, why not... it's not too sweet, there's oats and cheese, which equals to delicious breakfast.
@@HowToCookSmarter Me neither to be completly honest altho I like Skyr for some stuff. Low fat greek yogurt is oddly enough a pain to grt around here so that's perfect for me, can't wait to try it this week end!
@@VanHalenSpin I also use Skyr in some of my high-protein recipes, so it will work just fine. Have fun, hope you'll enjoy it!
Good work 🎉🎉🎉stay connected 🎉
Thanks for watching!
Oooo. WOW 😲. No more overnight oats!!!
I know, eating desserts for breakfast is not a smart idea:) I'm thinking about other overnight oats dessert variations too, like tiramisu or banana pudding...
Will almond milk work for the curd? Sounds so good, want to try this.🍋
Why would it not work? Not that the crust undergoes some very specific reaction, milk is just there to add moisture for chia seeds to puff up and oats to soak it. You can probably add any liquid in there as long as volume is equated
Sure, you can use almond milk too.
What are the recipes compounds for the lemon curd ? It's seems to be delicious.
You can find it in the description of this video.
How long will it keep in the fridge for? I would like to make this but preferably enough for 2-3 days as it will take a lot out of me. Looks delicious.
I had my last jar yestarday, and it was like 5 days from filming the video, so you'll be fine. Glad you like the recipe!
@@HowToCookSmarter thank you Sascha
How can I adjust it without putting any sugar in it (not even honey or other syrups) and use whole fruit as a sweetener instead? I have gestational diabetes. This looks absolutely delicious btw!
Hi! I would try making it using the super ripe banana, adding some into the crust and filling, and just skiping the curd. What about the dates?
Is store bought lemon juice fine, or would you recommend that we make it fresh?
I always use fresh lemon juice, but if you have some leftover lemon juice in your fridge, it would be fine too.
Would using ground saffron be better than using turmeric for the color?
You can use both, I just have a turmeric as a regular spice in my kitchen.
Can I request more 1) no-bake recipes 2) main courses instead of desserts? Thanks!
More no-bake recipes coming soon, main courses will try to give it a shot somewhere at the end of summer.
With a scale all your recipes become much easier imo.
Yeah, I'm all about the easy recipes:)
One thing I am concerned is that I feel bloated when I eat uncooked oats. So do you think I could be bake the oats before I soak. Or is there any other substitutes. Thank you so much for your time.. liked your Idea
Well, if you can't eat oats even after soaking them overnight, I suggest you dry toast them on the pan for 5-10 minutes before making this dessert.
@@HowToCookSmarter thank you so much for your response that is good 👍😊
wont lemon juice curdle the milk ?
Not really in this case, when you cook everything together.
@@HowToCookSmarter thank you 😇
👍👍👍👍
Can you do more recipes using an air fryer?
There will be more air fryer recipes on the channel later this year.
@@HowToCookSmarter thank you!!!!! I’m looking forward to it!
Thanks for the video. It seems yummy and a quick
It requires only 19 ingredients 😂
You're welcome! You can even simplify it by using only Greek yogurt, or only ricotta cheese, and by replacing this lemon curd with melted dark chocolate on top.
@HowToCookSmarter Thanks for your kind explanation. Certainly I would do it as you suggested 😀once again thank you for sharing your recipe m
@@Rikki-lh2mw Sure, anytime, have fun and enjoy your summer days!
I dont have ricotta cheese what can i substitute it with ?
Any type of soft cheese will work.
@@HowToCookSmarter used cottage cheese instead, tried it this morning, felt it was too sour for me..had to add more honey and maple syrup at the top before I was able to eat it. Also the lemon curd dint harden as much as I would have liked... maybe I should have let it cool longer than 5 minutes before putting in on and in the fridge...? I also used arrowroot powder instead of cornstarch, does that make a difference... it had thickened but not very hard like in a lemon tart...
Can I substitute the ricotta cheese with cottage cheese?
Sure, that would be fine, you can even blend it up first to make it creamy.
@@HowToCookSmarter excellent! And thank you soooo much for responding back to me! I really appreciate it!
@@Caleb-zt5ht Sure, anytime, have fun!
How many days it can last in the fridge ❤
Up to 5 days in the fridge.
@@HowToCookSmarter thank you ♥️♥️♥️ looks yummy
I only have cream cheese can I use it instead of ricotta cheese?
Made it with cream cheese and loved it .The lemon curd was delicious. Thank you
That's great news, glad you enjoy the recipe! This lemon curd really make it special, I will be using it in some other recipes too.
@@HowToCookSmarter pls share more other recipes
Any home made food is good and filling. Also you know what you have added...no chemicals or additives.
That's for sure, it's so worth the effort. Go homemade!
Printed Book when???
Not sure about it.
Is it bitter to the point it makes you wince? And can I use old fashioned oats instead of quick oats ?
No way is this going to be bitter not with the amount of sugar in something that size its a diabetic coma in a jar honey AKA SUGAR. maple syrup AKA SUGAR And lemon curd contains sugar
@@lanaprowse3269I was planning to eat it in a diet but now that you said it has carbs then I'm out
@@Alexa-eo4tf almost 50g of just sugar from just honey milk and yogurt
@@TeamD3ath2 plain Greek yogurt has no sugar
@@EC-yd9yv greek yogurt is 3.2g sugar per 100g
No banana?
Why not use egg yolk for real lemon curd?
I just find it easier to make.
I recognize Serbian brands 😅❤
Actually I live in Croatia, I guess these are from the same grocery chains we have. Sending back love!
a cup of Captain Crunch is more nutrious and has fewer sugars than a half cup of Oats.
Says the overweight american. 🤣
I made it but it didn’t taste like cheese cake at all
I could taste ricotta cheese
Thanks for trying it out, you try adding half cream cheese next time for more authentic flavor.
theres 41 grams of sugar just from the honey a bit more than 8g from milk and yogurt. be transparent and put sugar instead of carbs cause your carb count is way off anyway
1 tbsp honey = 17.3g sugar
3 tsp of honey
Lemoncurd
"Healthy"
You don't eat all that curd, you share some with family.
More smartly......
To much work for overnight oats
It's actually overnight dessert...
This is a diabetic coma in a jar
48 grams of Carbs???
Way too much sugar in something that size
This jar is not that small you think it is, it's quite filling dessert. And for sugar, it's just enough sweet, otherwise you wouldn't call it a dessert.
John 3:16 KJV
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
Thats a lot of chia seeds 💩
That's the good thing, right:)
I very much dislike Ricotta cheese. It's the taste and the texture🤮 but farmers cheese! I love to make sweet farmer cheese casserole. It could probably work for this recipe as well...
Sure, fresh farmers cheese would be just perfect for this recipe.
this dude puts in 60g of ricotta chesse and calls this healthy lmao
That's right, I find ricotta cheese to be actually healthy.
@@HowToCookSmarter you might find it, but it's not.
@ Can you explain why?
holy shit, just eat whatever you want and add powder to a drink, am I the only one? No1 is actually going to do those recipes, maybe one time and never again cuz too much hussle.
It couldn't be simplier than that.
@@HowToCookSmarterI love your recipes and have made the same recipe multiple times!!!
@@lisabucheli Thanks for your feedback, so glad you enjoy the recipes!
Ricotta is very expensive. 😢
You can use any other type of soft cheese instead of ricotta.
The vegan version would be much more interesting. Constantly these planet-destroying breast milk ingredients from cows, that's becoming really unexciting and boring... And no, this way it isn't that very healthy. But the idea is worth to give it a modified try!
way too much effort.
low fat is not healthy
