    Cheesecake Overnight Weetabix

    Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe

    These overnight Weetabix are insanely good. Slightly sweet, with a Weetabix base and raspberry jam swirl topping, it tastes like eating cheesecake for breakfast.

    So, have you heard of overnight Weetabix yet?

    It’s the latest iteration of overnight-ready breakfasts — thanks for the inspiration, overnight oats — and it’s taking the internet by storm. My Instagram feed is full of overnight Weetabix recipes, and the easy breakfast has even gone viral on TikTok.

    But are they any good? Are they worth trying? 

    I say, YES. 

    Does It Taste Good?

    I think that overnight Weetabix tastes great! 

    In my opinion, this recipe tastes a lot like cheesecake, thanks to the tangy Greek yoghurt combined with a sweet raspberry jam swirl. 

    Since greek yoghurt is the predominant ingredient in overnight Weetabix, the flavour is quite yoghurt-y. So choose a Greek yoghurt you like, since you’ll definitely taste it. 

    The Weetabix layer that goes beneath the yoghurt tastes pretty much just like soggy Weetabix. While this may seem like a turn-off to some, it pairs quite nicely in the recipe as a whole. For those who like a little extra sweetness, I’ve also seen overnight Weetabix made with a little bit of sugar added to the Weetabix layer. I didn’t think it was necessary for this recipe but to each their own! 

    In short, overnight Weetbix are: 

    • Perfectly sweet
    • Smooth and creamy
    • Slightly soggy, in a good way

    Weetabix Vs. Weet-Bix

    If you’re not from the UK or Australia, you might not be familiar with either Weetabix or Weet-Bix. 

    In short, they’re the same thing: a packet wheat cereal that comes in rectangular bricks. 

    Weetabix and Weet-Bix were invented by the same guy back in the 1930s. Weetabix is simply the British version of the cereal, whereas Weet-Bix is the original, Australian name. 

    Needless to say, both options work well in this recipe. Depending on where you live, I recommend using whatever is easiest to get! 

    Common Questions

    Does overnight Weetabix get soggy?

    Yeah, they do. But that’s kind of the point. By mixing Weetabix and almond milk (or other milk), you create a soggy base layer that kind of acts as a crust for the yoghurt topping. Don’t worry though, it’s delicious. 

    How long should I put overnight Weetabix in the fridge? 

    To let everything soak and set, I recommend refrigerating overnight Weetabix for at least 4 hours. 

    How long does overnight Weetabix stay good?

    While this recipe is best eaten the next day, they would still taste great after 2-3 days as well. The only issue is that the Weetabix might get too soggy, but if you don’t mind soggy Weetabix in the first place — go for it. Just make sure you cover your bowl with plastic wrap or foil to ensure freshness. 

    I don't like soggy Weetabix. What do I do?

    Overnight Weetabix are pretty soggy by nature. In this case, we recommend making Strawberry Cheesecake Overnight Oats instead.

    Description

    These overnight Weetabix are insanely good. Slightly sweet, with a Weetabix base and raspberry jam swirl topping, it tastes just like cheesecake for breakfast!


    Ingredients

    Units Scale
    • 2 blocks Weetabix (crushed)
    • ½ cup almond milk (or milk of choice)
    • 170 grams Greek yoghurt (plain or vanilla flavour)
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional*)
    • 1 Tablespoon raspberry jam (or other favourite flavour)

    Instructions

    1. Crush Weetabix and place in the medium sized bowl.
    2. Add almond milk over Weetabix and let set for a few minutes.
    3. Once the Weetabix have soaked up some of the almond milk (2-3 minutes), use the back of a spoon to spread and smooth the mixture into an even layer.
    4. Meanwhile, combine the Greek yoghurt and vanilla extract if using.
    5. Pour the Greek yoghurt mixture over the Weetabix base. Use a spoon to gently spred the yoghurt into an even layer.
    6. Dollop the jam in a few places on top of the yoghurt. Using a toothpick, knife, or chopstick, swirl the jam through the surface of the yoghurt to create a marbled look. This step is completely optional, but it makes the final product more aesthetically pleasing.
    7. Cover the bowl of overnight Weetabix with foil or plastic wrap and place in the fridge.
    8. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours to allow everything to chill and set.
    9. When ready to eat, remove from fridge and dig in! These overnight Weetabix will keep covered in the fridge for up to three days.

    Notes

    * If using vanilla flavoured Greek yoghurt, vanilla extract is not necessary.
