Recipe for Snowman from Marshmallow (Zefir)

1. Prepare the Meringue Base:
   • 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 Snowmen:
   • Transfer the marshmallow mixture to a piping bag with a round tip. Pipe two circular layers onto parchment paper to form the snowman’s body. Use smaller amounts to create the head and arms.
5. Let Set:
   • Allow the snowmen to set at room temperature overnight to stabilize.
6. Decorate:
   • Use edible decorations to create the snowman’s face, hat, and scarf. Dust lightly with powdered sugar for a snowy effect.
