Why I Like this Recipe
Kiwi cheesecake overnight oats have a thick, creamy texture that makes breakfast feel a bit like dessert. Greek yoghurt and light cream cheese form the cheesecake-style base, and fresh kiwi brings a bright, fruity taste. With over 27g of protein per serving, they are filling, refreshing, and easy to make ahead for busy mornings.
Tips and Variations
- Add the kiwi topping right before serving to keep the flavour fresh and the colour bright.
- Choose thick Greek yoghurt for a richer, cheesecake-like texture. If you use thinner yoghurt, the oats will be softer.
- Add some finely grated lemon zest to the oat mixture if you want a stronger cheesecake flavour.
- Use semi-skimmed milk instead of almond milk if you like a creamier texture.
- For a plant-based option, use dairy-free Greek-style yoghurt and plant-based cream cheese.
- Sprinkle some crushed digestive biscuits on top for more of a cheesecake-pot feel.
- Serve with extra kiwi, fresh berries, or an extra spoonful of Greek yoghurt if you want a bigger breakfast.
- Try chopped pistachios, walnuts, or pumpkin seeds instead of flaked almonds for a different topping.
Meal Storage
Keep the oat base in sealed jars in the fridge for up to 3 days. For the best flavour, store the kiwi topping separately and add it right before serving.
Freezer tips
Freezing isn’t ideal because yoghurt and cream cheese can separate after thawing. If you need to freeze, store only the oat base (without the kiwi topping) for up to 1 month.
Let the oats thaw overnight in the fridge, then stir well before serving. If the mixture is too thick, add a splash of almond milk. Finish with fresh kiwi and almond flakes.
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, kiwi is great in overnight oats, especially as a fresh topping. For the best flavour, add it just before serving, since storing kiwi with yoghurt for too long can make the yoghurt taste a bit bitter.
The oat mixture will last up to 3 days in the fridge if you store it in an airtight jar or container. Keep the kiwi separate and add it just before serving for the best flavour and texture.
Yes, you can. Just use the same amount of extra Greek yoghurt instead of cream cheese. The oats will be a bit lighter and tangier, but still creamy.
Yes, these are great for meal prep. Make the oat mixture ahead of time and divide it into jars or containers. Add the fresh kiwi and flaked almonds just before eating to keep the topping fresh.
Fresh kiwi is best because it has a brighter flavour and firmer texture. You can use frozen kiwi, but it might turn soft and watery after thawing.
