Recipe story

Frozen yogurt gained popularity in the United States in the 1970s as a healthier alternative to ice cream. Mango and coconut have been traditional ingredients in Southeast Asian desserts for centuries. Combining them with Greek yogurt adds creaminess and protein, while the air fryer method creates a unique soft-serve-like texture.

Ingredient Secrets

Vanilla

Vanilla

Vanilla, native to Mexico, was discovered by Spanish conquistadors who brought it to Europe in the 16th century. In Aztec culture, vanilla was used to flavor a royal cocoa drink. For centuries, hand-pollination was a closely guarded secret, and it wasn't until 1841 that a 12-year-old slave on Réunion discovered the method that allowed widespread cultivation.
