Quark balls from the hot air fryer: quick, easy, super tasty

Craving something sweet? These quick quark balls from the air fryer are a hit. The recipe is here.

Yes, you can not only prepare savory dishes in your hot air fryer, but also sweets! A recipe that has piqued my curiosity for weeks is quark balls from the air fryer (Here you can get my favorite model from Tefal, on Amazon*).

I love quark balls from the bakery: airy, juicy and rolled in sugar, I quickly eat them up. So can the little morsels even taste good if they haven't been fried in fat? As I have now discovered: Yes!

Of course, you can't compare the quark balls from the hot air fryer one-to-one with those that were fried in hot oil. They differ a little bit, after all, fat is a flavor carrier. However, if you want to enjoy the sweet treat with a little less calories, this recipe is a great alternative.
