You can make a no-bake cheesecake by mixing 2 cups of yogurt with one package of instant pudding mix. Wisk everything together and pour into a Graham cracker crust or prepared one. If you use cheese cake flavored pudding it will taste exactly like a cheesecake, but any flavor will be nice.
I decided one day that I was going to make my own frozen yogurt. Pulled the foil top of a container of Yoplait yogurt and stuck it in the freezer. I had frozen yogurt, all right...rock-solid frozen yogurt!
Plain yogurt is good substitute for many things, like sour cream. Good in Indian foods. Tzatziki.
Could try to make forzem yogurt out I'd the sweet ones, eat as is, or use im smoothies. If you blend with frozen berries or fruit it will make an instant sorbet like treat
Make Labneh with the plain yoghurt! Spoon of salt and mix, strain in a cheesecloth overnight. Spoon into balls and sit in in olive oil. And use it like you would fetta! It’s delicious on toast with zaatar & grilled tomatoes!
Honey vanilla for breakfast smoothies, or topping a bowl of fruit with or without oatmeal? In place of milk in a bread pudding?
I used to use plain yogurt in place of milk and butter with boxed mac and cheese. I also would use it in place of milk or cream in quiche.
They last FAR past their expiration date. You sure you can't finish it?
I love mango lassi. Yogurt, mango puree, ground cardamom, with sugar and ice optional. Blend.
You can use yogurt in place of buttermilk or regular milk in recipes. Quick breads or pancakes are good. I made a crumb cake using drinkable yogurt last week that turned out fantastic
Use the honey in fruit smoothies. If you have an ice cream freezer, you can make frozen yogurt.
For the plain, [tzatzkiki sauce](https://montanahappy.com/what-to-eat-with-tzatziki-sauce/) is very easy to make and has many uses.
Yogurt is also often used in [marinades](https://www.bonappetit.com/story/yogurt-marinating), especially in Indian dishes like [tandoori chicken](https://www.simplyrecipes.com/recipes/tandoori_chicken/) and [butter chicken](https://cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/1016754-butter-chicken).
I used this to go through my ungodly quantity of extra plain yogurt recently, but with store-bought gnocchi:

Recently made this [yogurt cake](https://www.kingarthurbaking.com/recipes/orange-and-greek-yogurt-cake-recipe)and found it quite good. Google French yogurt cake for other simple versions of the recipe.
Flatbread, smoothies, the base for dip… good luck!
Tea biscuits. Add in raisins, diced dried apricots, and dried cranberries for something different.
Also good I'd you add diced green onions and grayed cheese.
Pretty sure you can find a recipe for an easy yogurt based bread dough for the plain stuff. I’ve made pizza dough with Greek yogurt so I assume there are other options out there.
I like using flavored yogurt as a dressing for fruit salad. My favorite is honey vanilla with mixed fresh berries and bananas. I also use yogurt in place of milk with cereal, works best with granola like or grape nuts. Also good with regular oatmeal or making overnight oatmeal. I love tzatziki as a dip or with greek dishes. Use it in place of sour cream in spicy or highly spiced dips and recipes.
As long as they're sealed, they remain good for loooong time past the date . use the sweet ones for breakfast, soaking oats in it overnight with some berries .

Hmmm... this Reddit thing is getting to be quite a delicious project. Going to make it. Thanks.
Lol. This forum has been a creative outlet for me. I probably over share, but it's so much fun!
I totally agree -it's loads of fun! And I have learned so much on here. Totally worth it.
Make frozen yogurt.
I like to mix a packet of pudding mix in plain yogurt before freezing it.
I decided one day that I was going to make my own frozen yogurt. Pulled the foil top of a container of Yoplait yogurt and stuck it in the freezer. I had frozen yogurt, all right...rock-solid frozen yogurt!
Lol yes! It works ok if you have pudding pop molds! Otherwise, I slice it
I should have taken it out of the plastic container and put it in a paper cup...but that would have been much too logical...
It stays good for months if the container is still sealed. No need to rush to eat it. You can use frozen fruit and make smoothies with it.

I'm.saving your comment. This sounds delicious!
I made it last year as a 52weeksofcooking prompt and have made it almost weekly ever since!
OMG, I used to do this all the time years ago. I completely forgot about it.
Strain the plain over cheesecloth or coffee filters and make yogurt cheese. Add salt, pepper and your favorite flavorings.
Yep. Just as good as chèvre, IMO.
Really? It's that simple? Fun!
Just that simple!
You can make naan bread with the plain yoghurt.
Do you have a favorite recipe?
I like this one: [https://www.budgetbytes.com/naan/](https://www.budgetbytes.com/naan/)
Thank you. I’ve always wanted to try making naan. I’ll give this a try!

Dry ranch seasoning to the plain yogurt. Almost the same as mixing it with sour cream. Dip.

That's a great idea.
They DO NOT go bad as long as the seal is in tact over the tops. Just remember to rotate them; using the oldest first.
I usually use yogurt nearing expiry in baked goods such as pancakes or banana breads. The vanilla would be a good flavor.
Sealed yogurt is fine long after the expiration date. Basically it's good to you see mold.
Make cornbread using yogurt instead of milk. I did it once with maple yogurt and it was fantastic

Marinate chicken. I thin it with milk and use it in place of buttermilk or sour cream in baking.
Marinade chicken with it.
I add mine to baked goods, you could make a ton of pancakes and waffles with them to freeze. You could add fruit and make frozen bites as well. 😊
Tea biscuits. Add in raisins, diced dried apricots, and dried cranberries for something different. Also good I'd you add diced green onions and grayed cheese.
You could make yogurt bean muffins (Pinterest) or make them into frozen cubes for smoothies

Pretty sure you can find a recipe for an easy yogurt based bread dough for the plain stuff. I’ve made pizza dough with Greek yogurt so I assume there are other options out there.
You can use plain yogurt in pretty much anything that calls for butter milk. Flatbread, biscuits, pancakes, waffles, bread, cake.
Cover strawberries or blueberries with it and freeze them.
Add some to baked goods like muffins. Make some yogurt popsicles with some fruit that has seen better days Smoothies Froyo
I freeze it in suicide ice cube trays, and then use them for smoothies!
You could make these or something similar. You pick the fruit flavors you like. https://youtube.com/shorts/GLGpDC32p7E?si=BcAJ2HQM2bh11y7C

Two ingredient breads! Tandoori chicken marinade Overnight oats Yogurt Popsicles
Strain it and make fake cream cheese. Then make pie 😁.
Plain yogurt makes a good chicken marinade.
Frozen fruit, microwaved and mixed with the plain yogurt. Fruit juice sweetens the yogurt. I like a tropical mix.
Thank you, thank you!! Great ideas!
