Measure out the oats and place them in a mixing bowl. Pour the milk over the oats, stir well, and let soak for at least 10 minutes until the oats soften and absorb the liquid.
1 cup old-fashioned oats, 1 cup milk
In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the softened cream cheese and honey. Stir continuously with a spatula until the mixture is smooth and begins to warm, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.
4 oz cream cheese, 2 tablespoons honey
While the cheese mixture cools, prepare the strawberries by hulling and slicing them evenly. Place the sliced strawberries into a bowl and sprinkle with a pinch of salt to enhance their flavor.
1 pint fresh strawberries, pinch salt
Once the cream cheese mixture is slightly cooled but still pourable, fold it into the soaked oats until well combined. The mixture should be creamy with oats evenly coated.
Layer the oats and cream cheese mixture into glasses or jars. Add a generous layer of sliced strawberries on top of each, creating a colorful and inviting presentation.
Serve immediately or chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes for a colder, more cohesive dessert-like breakfast.
