This yummy Chocolate Raspberry Overnight Weetbix is perfect for breakfast or a snack! It combines crunchy Weetbix with creamy yogurt, sweet chocolate, and tangy raspberries.
It’s so easy to make—just layer and chill overnight! I love waking up to a delicious treat that feels like dessert but is great for you. It’s a win-win! 😊
Key Ingredients & Substitutions
Weetbix: This cereal provides a crunchy base that’s also nutritious! If you can’t find Weetbix, try using any whole-grain cereal or crushed granola for a similar texture.
Greek Yogurt: I love using Greek yogurt for its creaminess and protein. If you prefer dairy-free, coconut or almond yogurt is a great alternative, or you can use regular plain yogurt.
Honey or Maple Syrup: Both add sweetness, but feel free to substitute with agave nectar or even sugar if those are what you have on hand. Adjust the amount based on your taste preferences!
Raspberries: Fresh raspberries are amazing here, but if they’re out of season, you can use other berries like strawberries or blueberries. Frozen raspberries work too; just thaw them before use.
How Do You Properly Layer the Ingredients?
Layering is key for texture and flavor in this dish! Here’s what to keep in mind:
- Start with the Weetbix mixture as the base; press it firmly to ensure it holds together.
- Gently fold in raspberries to your yogurt to keep them intact for a nice burst of flavor in every bite.
- When pouring the chocolate layer, do it slowly to prevent it from mixing with the yogurt below. Aim for a nice, defined layer!
Let it chill overnight so everything blends nicely. Don’t forget to garnish before serving for that pretty finish!

How Much Time Will You Need?
This fun and healthy recipe requires about 15 minutes of prep time. Then, you’ll let it chill in the fridge for at least 6 hours, or overnight. That’s all the time it needs to soften and absorb the delicious flavors!
Step-by-Step Instructions:
1. Prepare the Base Layer:
In a small bowl, combine the crushed Weetbix, rolled oats, and your choice of honey or maple syrup. Mix until everything is blended well. Now, press this mixture firmly into the bottom of your serving container. This will be your yummy base layer!
2. Make the Yogurt Layer:
In another bowl, gently fold the fresh raspberries into the Greek yogurt. This will add a lovely fruity flavor. Be careful not to crush the raspberries too much; you want some nice pieces for a burst of flavor!
3. Layer the Yogurt:
Spoon the yogurt and raspberry mixture over the base layer. Spread it out evenly to create a nice second layer. This will be creamy and delicious!
4. Create the Chocolate Mixture:
In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, cocoa powder, and melted dark chocolate until it’s nice and smooth. This will make a rich chocolate layer. Pour this chocolate mixture over the yogurt layer, using a spoon to smooth the top.
5. Chill Overnight:
Cover your container with a lid or plastic wrap to keep everything fresh. Now, pop it in the fridge! Let it chill for at least 6 hours, but overnight is best. This will give the Weetbix time to soften and the flavors to blend beautifully.
6. Serve and Enjoy:
When you’re ready to enjoy, take it out of the fridge and garnish it with extra fresh raspberries and a sprinkle of dark chocolate shavings. Now, dig in and enjoy this tasty, nutritious breakfast or snack!
Can I Use Other Fruits Besides Raspberries?
Absolutely! You can substitute raspberries with other berries like strawberries, blueberries, or blackberries. Just chop them up if they are larger fruits. Each will add its own unique flavor to the dish!
Can I Make This Recipe Vegan?
Yes! To make it vegan, simply use plant-based yogurt (like almond or coconut yogurt), maple syrup instead of honey, and plant-based milk. You’ll still enjoy a delicious treat without any animal products!
How Long Can I Store Leftovers?
If you have any leftovers, they can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Just give it a good stir before serving again!
Can I Prepare This Recipe in Advance?
Definitely! This recipe is perfect for meal prep. You can make it the night before or even a couple of days in advance. The longer it sits, the more the flavors meld together, making it even tastier!
