Easter Strawberry Vanilla Dirt Cups

Do dirt cups ever get old? A creamy, airy pudding filling covered in crushed oreos. A delicious and fun treat every kid loves! This one is a little different - instead of cream cheese, our recipe creator Sam Florio from QuarterSoulCrisis used a strawberry vanilla greek yogurt to keep it light, yet perfectly tangy. Happy Easter, and enjoy!

Ingredients

●      3 5oz Nounos Strawberry Vanilla Greek Yogurt

●      1 cup heavy cream

●      1tsp vanilla extract 

●      1 3.4oz package instant vanilla pudding

●      2 cups cold milk

●      Full strawberries + orange candy melts

[instruction below]

Instructions 

1. Make Filling: In a large bowl, make pudding according to the directions on the box with 2 cold cups milk. In another bowl beat one cup cold heavy cream to soft peaks. Add yogurt to pudding once pudding is set. Whisk to combine. Gently fold in the whipped cream with a rubber spatula until combined. Set aside.

2. Assemble: Clean out your yogurt jars. You can also use small mason jars, glasses or even a trifle dish. Layer thin sliced strawberries, crushed up oreos, ½ cup of your strawberry vanilla pudding mixture and top with oreos.

Turkish Eggs With Crispy Brown Rice

A twist on Turkish Eggs with the addition of Crispy Brown Rice. Traditional Turkish eggs are known as Çılbır. They are poached eggs over a herby yogurt and are a Turkish recipe that goes back years and years, and it is now common to drizzle delicious melted chili butter over top. Not only is this visually beautiful, but it's SO delicious.

Ingredients

Tzatziki

●      1 5oz Nounós Plain Greek Yogurt

●      salt & pepper to taste

●      1/4 cup cucumber grated

●      1 small garlic clove grated

●      2 tbsp fresh dill

●      juice of 1 lemon

Crispy Rice & Chili Butter

●      3 tbsp unsalted butter

●      1/4 tsp smoked paprika

●      pinch red pepper flake or cayenne for heat

●      1 cup cooked brown rice

●      1 tsp olive oil

●      2 large eggs

●      3/4 cup tzatziki recipe above*

Instructions

1.     Make Crispy Rice: add a sliver butter or oil into the skillet. Add your rice. Toss rice lightly & then press down flat along the bottom of the pan like a rice pancake. We are going to cook this on medium heat 8 minutes or so until the brown rice is crispy and golden on the bottom. Do not stir. Instead, use a spatula or spoon to occasionally press the rice flat while it cooks.

2.     Make tzatziki: In the meantime, make tzatziki. In a small bowl, add 5oz Nounós Plain Yogurt, 2tbs minced dill, 1/4 cup grated cucumber (packed), salt, pepper, & lemon. Stir. Taste. Add more of whatever you want until it's perfect!

3.     Make Chili Butter: In another small skillet, make chili butter. Add 3tbs unsalted butter, 1/4 tsp smoked paprika, red pepper flake, cayenne to skillet on medium heat. Melt butter and heat until bubbly/foamy, orange in color and fragrant. Stir occasionally. This will bloom your spices. Pour into small bowl or dish and set aside. Keep skillet off the heat & do not clean it off. Finally, fry your eggs in buttery spices.

4.     Finally, using same pan, fry eggs. Add extra sliver of butter or splash oil to the skillet. Heat for 1 minute. Crack both eggs into the pan. Fry until whites are firm, & flip. Cook to desired doneness (but I like mine extra runny)

5.     Assemble: put tzatziki on the bottom of bowl & top with both eggs. Add crispy rice in the bowl. Drizzle everything with chili butter. Add fresh herbs or cucumber slices if you’d like, maybe a squeeze of lemon. Serve immediately.

Notes

●      Chili butter: feel free to use regular paprika. Any chili flake will do, traditionally it is Aleppo Pepper. If you have Aleppo pepper it is a lovely addition.

●      Make the eggs however you want! Traditionally they are poached, but that’s not a requirement!

Baked Pita Chip Chicken Fingers & Tzatziki Ranch

Thinly sliced chicken breast breaded in crushed up pita chips and seasoning, baked to crispiness & dipped in a tzatziki dipping sauce with some added ranch seasonings. Need we say more? Follow this delicious recipe created by our friend at Quarter Soul Crisis.

INGREDIENTS

Chicken Fingers

-       1lb thin sliced chicken breast

-       5.3oz plain yogurt (Nounós yogurt)*

-       ⅓ cup any milk

-       ½ tsp garlic powder

-       ½ tsp Onion powder

-       ¼ tsp Dill weed

-       Salt & pepper

-       4 cups crushed pita chips

-       Olive oil

-       Optional Garnish: crumbled feta, fresh dill 

Tzatziki ranch

-       5.3oz plain yogurt (Nounós yogurt)*

-       Juice of one lemon

-       ½ cucumber, grated fine

-       1 small clove garlic, grated fine

-        tsp Dill weed

-       ½ tsp Fresh chives or dried chives

-       ½ tsp onion powder

-       Salt & pepper

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Preheat oven to 425°

2. Make Tzatziki Ranch: Add everything to small bowl and stir until combined. Add water to thin if you’d like & make sure you TASTE. Add salt & taste and then add more if you need.

3. Make Pita Chip Chicken Fingers: Pat the thin sliced chicken breast dry. Cut in half vertically to make chicken tenders. Trim ends if you need to or cut in half horizontally if the chicken is very long. In a large bowl, yogurt, ⅓ cup milk, ½ tsp garlic powder, ½ tsp onion powder, ¼ tsp Dill Weed, salt, pepper. Stir until combined and then add chicken. Toss until all chicken is fully coated.

4. Add crushed pita chips to a flat plate or dish. Line a baking sheet with parchment or silpat. Pull chicken from yogurt marinade & coat each piece of seasoned chicken in the pita chip crumbs, pressing lightly to get as many on there as possible. Repeat with each chicken tender and lay on baking sheet. Drizzle all pieces with olive oil.

5. Bake Chicken Fingers until totally cooked through and browned and crispy. 10 minutes, then flip and 10-12 more minutes. Broil and let sit on baking sheet for 5 mins before serving. Serve with extra chopped cucumber and tomato, crumbled feta and a side of tzatziki ranch.

TIPS FROM QUARTER SOUL CRISIS:

Pita Chip Crust

“Crusting the chicken tenders is very simple. I personally prefer to buy thin sliced chicken breast & cut that into strips. Buying chicken tenders tends to require some trimming & let's be honest, for a recipe like this I don't want to spend any extra time on it. Making your pita chip crust is easy. I actually like varying chunks, so I crush the pita chips in a freezer bag, but a food processor also works!

Toss the chicken in the yogurt and seasonings. This will ensure all of the seasoning soaks into your chicken and we don't lose any in the crust or baking process. Then finally coat in the pita chips. Drizzling with olive oil gives us a golden, crispier look & then we just bake in the oven at a high temperature until they are perfect.”

 Tzatziki Ranch

“There is so much overlap in some of these flavors. A more traditional tzatziki uses a yogurt base, grated cucumber and grated garlic. I absolutely love the fresh, slightly garlic-spiced taste of that. Adding dill, chives and a bit of onion powder is how I made that "ranch" combo. And it takes literally 5 minutes to make while your chicken fingers bake.”

Apple Pie Frozen Yogurt

Discover @quartersoulcrisis’s take on Apple Pie Frozen yogurt. Made with delicious chunks of pie crust, you will not resist this incredible cold & warm dessert!

INGREDIENTS

For the Froyo Base

●      10oz Nounós Apple Pie à la Mode Greek Yogurt*

●      ½ c heavy whipping cream

●      ½ can condensed milk

●      1 sheet frozen pie crust (I like pilsbury. Or you can use leftover pie crust!)

Warm Apple Pie Topping

●      1 large Granny Smith apple

●      1 tbs butter

●      1 tbs brown sugar

●      ½ tsp Apple pie spice

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Bake Pie Crust: preheat oven to 425. Cut your pie crust up into strips or squares. It doesn’t matter how you do it we are breaking them up anyway. Bake crust pieces until golden brown and flaky. Remove from oven and let cool until able to touch with hands. Measure half cup pie crust pieces and set aside for frozen yogurt base.

2. Frozen Yogurt Base: In a large bowl, whip heavy cream to soft peaks with a whisk or hand mixer. Pour in ½ can of condensed milk and empty both Nounós yogurts into whipped cream. Whisk or mix until everything is combined. Pour base into large freezer safe container or bowl. Add crumbled pie crust pieces and fold in. Press sheet of Saran Wrap against the yogurt (goal is to get as little air as possible) and cover the container with tight lid. Add to freezer for 8 hours or overnight.**

3. Warm Apple Pie Topping: you can make this ahead of time or right before serving! To reheat, just microwave until warm. Peel and chop Granny Smith apple to small cubes. In a large skillet on medium heat, melt one tablespoon of butter. Toss apple cubes & apple pie spice in the skillet. Cook until apples have softened. Add brown sugar and toss again until brown sugar is dissolved and apples are cooked through. All together this step should take about 10 mins. Serve over top of froyo.

NOTES:

** if you can’t find the apple pie Nounós, or if it is no longer in season - that’s okay. Substitute with 10oz of any our Vanilla flavor. You can be creative!

**Pro tip: Stir up the frozen yogurt base during the freezing process from time to time.

Pumpkin Spice Cheesecake Bars

This Fall season, we partnered with Sam from Quarter Soul Crisis to create a decadent fall-themed dessert using our Seasonal Pumpkin Spice whole milk Greek yogurt. Her Pumpkin Spice Cheesecake Bars recipe is to die for, and we hope you’ll enjoy baking it at home too!

INGREDIENTS

For the Crust

●      12 sheets graham crackers

●      6tbs melted unsalted butter

●      ¼ cup brown sugar

●      Pinch Salt

For the Filling

●      14oz cream cheese

●      2X 5oz Pumpkin Spice Nounós Greek Yogurt

●      ½ tsp pumpkin spice

●      ¼ cup brown sugar

●      ¾ white sugar

●      1 tsp vanilla

●      2 eggs + 1 yolk

INSTRUCTIONS

1. All of your dairy ingredients need to be room temperature. Preheat oven to 350°. Grease an 8x8 baking dish very well. Set aside. Grab rimmed baking sheet & set aside.

2. Make the Crust: In food processor (or trusty ziploc bag & rolling pin) add all of the graham crackers. Break up or process the graham crackers as fine as possible. In a small bowl, add melted butter, graham crackers and ¼ cup brown sugar. Mix until butter is completely incorporated and you see no dry pieces of graham cracker. Press mixture into 8x8 pan. Tamp down with flat glass to make sure the crust is really pressed in to the baking dish*. Bake crust for 8 minutes, remove from oven and set aside.

3. Make the Filling: In large bowl with hand mixer OR stand mixer with whisk attachment, add cream cheese. Beat until smooth & creamy. Add 2 Pumpkin Spice Nounós Greek Yogurts & beat again until smooth & creamy with no clumps. Add sugars, pumpkin pie spice and vanilla extract. Beat again. Be sure to scrape the sides and bottom of your bowl! Finally add eggs one at a time beating on low until the egg is just incorporated. Stop as soon as it is mixed in!

4. Hot Water Bath: Pour filling into baked crust (it is okay if it’s hot). Place cheesecake on rimmed baking sheet and add to oven. Boil about 5 cups of water in a small pan. Pour boiling water into the rimmed baking dish (NOT onto the cheesecake) letting the water surround the cheesecake.

5. Bake for 50 minutes to an hour until there is a light jiggle in the center. Remove from oven. Let sit until room temperature-ish before refrigerating 4-8 hours or overnight.

6. Cut into bars & serve!
