Apple Pie Weetabix Cheesecake Recipe

Serves: 1
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Chill Time: Overnight
Syns: 6½ Syns per serving (deduct 6 Syns if you’re using the Weetabix as your Healthy Extra ‘b’ choice)

Ingredients

• 2 Weetabix
• 2 tbsp fat-free natural yogurt
• 1 apple, chopped
• ½ tsp mixed spice
• 160g no-added-sugar fat-free vanilla yogurt
• 2 pinches ground cinnamon, for garnish

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Base

1. Place the Weetabix in a bowl. Crush them using your hands or a fork until they resemble fine crumbs.
2. Add the fat-free natural yogurt to the crushed Weetabix and mix thoroughly until it forms a cohesive mixture.

Step 2: Assemble the Base

3. Spoon the Weetabix mixture into the base of a dessert glass or small jar. Press it down firmly with the back of a spoon to create a compact layer.

Step 3: Add the Vanilla Yogurt Layer

4. Pour the no-added-sugar fat-free vanilla yogurt over the Weetabix base to create a creamy second layer. Spread evenly.

Step 4: Prepare the Apple Topping

5. In a small bowl, combine the chopped apple with the mixed spice. Toss well to ensure the apple pieces are evenly coated with the warm, spiced flavor.

Step 5: Chill and Garnish

6. Cover the dessert glass with cling film or a lid and chill overnight in the refrigerator to allow the flavors to meld.
7. Just before serving, top the cheesecake with the spiced apple pieces. Sprinkle with a pinch of ground cinnamon for an extra touch of warmth and aroma.

Tips and Tricks

• Layering Options: For an added indulgence, drizzle a teaspoon of sugar-free caramel sauce between layers.
• Make It Crunchy: Sprinkle some crushed nuts or granola on top for added texture and flavor.
• Use Ripe Apples: Sweet, ripe apples work best to complement the spice. Granny Smith apples offer a tart twist if you prefer more contrast.
• Chill Time: While overnight chilling is ideal, a minimum of 2 hours will work if you’re short on time.

Notes

• This recipe is versatile—swap out the apple for pear or berries if you’re in the mood for a different fruity twist.
• You can experiment with different yogurts, like toffee or coconut-flavored ones, to mix up the flavor profile.

FAQs

Can I make this ahead of time?

Yes! This recipe is designed to be made ahead and chilled overnight. It’s perfect for meal prepping breakfast or dessert.

Can I use different spices?

Absolutely. If you don’t have mixed spice, try cinnamon, nutmeg, or even pumpkin pie spice.

Can I make this recipe vegan?

You can substitute the yogurt with plant-based alternatives like coconut or almond yogurt and ensure your Weetabix is vegan-friendly.

What’s the best way to crush Weetabix?

Use clean hands or a fork to crumble the biscuits easily. A quick pulse in a food processor will also do the trick if you’re making multiple servings.

Storage

• Refrigerator: Store in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
• Freezing: Not recommended, as the texture of yogurt and Weetabix may change upon thawing.
