Preparation

  1. Preheat the air fryer to 350°F (180°C).
  2. Make the donuts: Open the can of biscuits and cut each biscuit into quarters to make bite-sized pieces. Place the biscuit pieces in the air fryer basket, making sure to leave room between them.
  3. Air fry for 5-6 minutes, until golden brown and cooked through.
  4. Transfer the donuts from the air fryer to a large bowl. Drizzle the melted butter over the donuts. In a small bowl, mix together the sugar and cinnamon until well combined; sprinkle over the donuts and mix until evenly coated.
  5. Make the dip: In a medium bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, dehydrated strawberries, milk, and vanilla until smooth. Add more milk to reach the desired consistency. If you want a thicker consistency, sprinkle in a bit more powdered sugar.
  6. Serve the warm donuts with the dip.
  7. Enjoy!
