1. Can I use frozen strawberries instead of fresh?

Absolutely, I do this all the time when berries aren’t in season. Just thaw and chop them first—they’ll release extra juice that makes the oats even more flavorful. Pro tip: toss them in frozen (no thawing) if you prefer firmer berries in the morning.

2. Is the cream cheese really necessary?

Well... yes and no. It gives that authentic cheesecake tang, but in a pinch, you can skip it or use blended cottage cheese. (Though trust me, that cream cheese swirl is what makes your taste buds do a happy dance)

3. Can I make this dairy-free for Valentine’s breakfast?

Of course, Swap in almond or coconut yogurt, use plant-based cream cheese, and pick your favorite non-dairy milk. It’ll still taste indulgent—promise.

4. My oats turned out too thick—what went wrong?

No worries, Just stir in a splash of milk in the morning. Those chia seeds are thirsty little things—they drink up liquid differently depending on your fridge’s temperature.

5. Can I heat these up if I prefer warm oats?

You bet, Microwave for 30-60 seconds, stirring halfway. But try it cold first—the cheesecake flavor really shines at fridge temp.
