If there's one place you're guaranteed to find the weirdest and wackiest food trends, it's TikTok.

From baked feta pasta to genius wrap hacks, there's always something new for families with even the fussiest little eaters to try.

Now fans of Weetabix (and cheesecake) are in for a treat, as overnight Weetabix is here ... and it's fast becoming the food trend of the moment.

All you need to make the delicious breakfast treat, which apparently tastes just like cheesecake, is boiling water or milk, low fat yoghurt, fruit and any other toppings you fancy.

There are tons of different flavours you can try, from Oreos to strawberries, but most of the Weetabix cake recipes on TikTok simply require the following ...

  • Crumble two Weetabix into a Tupperware container or bowl and smooth out to make the base
  • Pour 100-125ml of either boiling water or milk onto the Weetabix and mix together.
  • Next, stir in some low fat flavoured yoghurt or fruit. Spread the mixture over the Weetabix base and add any additional toppings you fancy.
  • Put your creation in the fridge overnight, and wake up to your delicious Weetabix 'cheesecake' for brekkie.

The Weetabix cheesecakes have proved hugely popular with TikTok users, with the hashtag racking up 18 million views on the platform.

TikTok user @clean_treats has shared a whole host of different flavours to try on her page, from apple pie to tiramisu – so there really is something for everyone.

If you're keen to boost how much protein you're eating, you can swap out regular Weetabix for Protein Weetabix – genius!

One excited TikTokker commented on @clean_treats tiramisu recipe video: 'I can’t wait to try this omggggg.'

Another exclaimed: 'what.... that's ALL?? That looks so easy.'

If you've got a sweet tooth, but are trying to eat more healthily, frozen yogurt is a great swap for ice cream. Why not invest in a frozen yogurt maker? See more details here at Amazon.

Last August, TikTok went crazy for frozen honey jelly, which is the perfectsweet treat for the kids. Check out how to make it here ...

A £2 crisp maker also went viral on the platform in September – which could be a great way to keep children entertained.
