Steps

1
Pour the strawberry yogurt into a freezer-safe container (lined with parchment paper). Spread it evenly in a layer no thicker than 2-3 cm for quick and even freezing.
2
Freeze until completely firm, about 4-6 hours.
3
Preheat the Air Fryer to 175°C. Break the frozen yogurt into 3-4 cm pieces (if it's a large block) and place them in the Air Fryer basket.
4
Cook in the Air Fryer at 175°C for 2-3 minutes, until the yogurt softens and becomes creamy. Check after 2 minutes — time may vary. Serve immediately, topped with fresh strawberries or granola as desired.

Recipe story

Frozen yogurt is a modern twist on traditional Middle Eastern desserts, where yogurt was mixed with fruit and honey. In ancient Greece, yogurt was considered a food of the gods, and in Central Asia, frozen yogurt (dondurma) was made with ice and salt. In the 20th century, with the advent of refrigerators, frozen yogurt became popular in the United States as a healthier alternative to ice cream. This strawberry version combines the freshness of fruit with the creamy texture of yogurt, and the Air Fryer offers a quick thawing method that preserves the ideal consistency.
