Recipe for Fluffy Snowballs from Marshmallow (Zefir)

   • Begin by whipping the egg whites at low speed until foamy. Gradually increase the speed and add 130g of sugar in portions. Whip until soft peaks form.
2. Prepare the Syrup:
   • In a saucepan, mix agar-agar and water. Cook over low heat until it forms a thick paste. Add 400g of sugar and stir until dissolved. Bring the mixture to a boil and cook until it reaches 105°C.
3. Combine Syrup with Meringue:
   • Slowly pour the hot syrup into the whipped egg whites in a thin stream, beating continuously on high speed. Continue to whip until the mixture thickens and becomes glossy.
4. Shape the Snowballs:
   • Transfer the marshmallow mixture to a piping bag with a round nozzle. Pipe small mounds onto parchment paper to resemble snowballs.
5. Let Set:
   • Allow the marshmallows to set at room temperature overnight to stabilize.
