Lokma dessert with yogurt is a Turkish-style sweet of small fried dough balls soaked in syrup and served with yogurt. The cool, tangy yogurt contrasts with the crisp, very sweet lokma, and recipes can vary in how they plate it.
To make lokma dessert with yogurt, fry small portions of yeast-raised dough until golden, dip them briefly in syrup, and serve with plain yogurt. Add the yogurt just before serving so it stays cool and the dough does not become soggy.
Usually, the yogurt in lokma dessert with yogurt is served alongside or over the syrup-soaked dough balls, rather than being mixed into the batter. The name can describe the serving style, though individual recipes may use yogurt differently.
Lokma dessert with yogurt is closely related to loukoumades: both are small fried dough balls commonly finished with syrup. The defining feature here is the yogurt served with the lokma; toppings and serving customs vary across regions and recipes.
For crisp lokma dessert with yogurt, briefly dip freshly fried dough balls in cooled syrup and remove them rather than letting them soak. Keep the yogurt separate until serving, since both prolonged soaking and early topping soften the fried surface.
Lokma dessert with yogurt does not have one clearly established place of origin. Lokma is a traditional sweet found in Turkish and wider Middle Eastern food cultures, while serving it with yogurt is a variation rather than a universally documented regional specialty.
You can try making lokma dessert with yogurt in an air fryer, but it will not have the same evenly fried texture as the traditional version. Air-fried dough may be drier, so serve it with syrup and yogurt while fresh.
Plain, unsweetened, thick yogurt goes best with lokma dessert with yogurt because its mild tang balances the syrup. Greek-style or strained yogurt gives a richer, thicker accompaniment, while flavored yogurt can make the serving noticeably sweeter.
Store leftover lokma dessert with yogurt covered in the refrigerator, keeping the yogurt separate if it has not yet been added. The syrup-soaked dough will soften over time, so it is best eaten soon rather than stored for several days.
Yes, you can gently reheat the lokma in lokma dessert with yogurt, but reheating will not restore the crispness of freshly fried dough. Warm the lokma briefly in an oven and add cold yogurt only after heating.

Lokma dessert with yogurt combines small pieces of yeasted dough, fried until golden, soaked in syrup and served with yogurt. Lokma is a familiar Turkish sweet, especially associated with İzmir, and is also handed out at gatherings and commemorative occasions. The yogurt gives the syrup-soaked dough a cool, tangy contrast.
The bites are lightly crisp outside and soft within, with a glossy, sugary coating. They are usually eaten as a dessert, with the yogurt alongside or spooned over the lokma. This is an energy-dense treat, with much of its carbohydrate coming from the dough and syrup; a 60 g serving is a modest portion. For a less rich serving, use a little less syrup and add plain yogurt rather than extra toppings.
