These little mango fruit marshmallow pillows will be perfect for any time of the year. Zefir is somewhat similar in its consistency to marshmallows. ”Zephyr" is a unique, Russian dessert; a heavenly, marshmallow-like meringue. Follow this step-by-step video and you'll be amazed at just how easy it is to make! Zephyr is a very common sweet produced in Post-Soviet countries. It can also be made in advance, so you don’t need to fuss around the kitchen with the dessert last minute. They are not like the bagged marshmallows you would buy at the store. These are much lighter and they practically melt in your mouth as you eat them. This recipe is enough for 24 halves, and 12 full zephyr. If you make them smaller, you can make more.

Hi guys! Hello everyone!
Welcome! Lovden!
Welcome to my channel.
I'm Alla, the host of this show.
I am thrilled, beyond thrilled to share this recipe with you today.
We're going to be making mango zephyr.
It's more of an exotic flavor and I know how much you guys love zephyr,
so I'm trying to come up with more flavors
that you will absolutely love.
and yeah it's just beautiful colorful it's such
an amazing gift to give to your neighbors to your
friends to your teachers for example pretty easy
to make if you know all the basics and the
ingredients and stuff like that which I will go through today
and of course guys if you want to
get access to all my recipes including this one you need
to become a member and you can find all
the details in my description box on how to do so and I'm
so excited to have you join me and
thousands of other people that have joined my baking community
and becoming better cooks
every single day. Now let's get started.
In a bowl add your mangoes. Make sure they're nice
and fresh or completely defrosted
and then puree them with a hand blender. If you have mango puree
you can just use that and that should be good enough.
Puree it until you have no bits and set
this aside add egg white into your bowl together
with your mango puree that has set and take it to
your mixer we're going to mix
this for a few minutes until it starts to become light and foamy
add orange or yellow food coloring to make it nice
and bright but this is completely optional
we're going to mix it on low and get started on our syrup
because we don't want to over whip
our egg white it should look just like this now
to make your syrup you want to add water sugar
and glucose syrup inside okay you then
also want to add your agar agar and place everything onto
the stove you're going to cook this on a medium
to low heat you want to make sure that all your
ingredients melt together and it creates a nice beautiful syrup.
Don't be tempted to cook this
very very fast because you need to make sure that the syrup cooks
and agar will activate after
the mixture starts to boil.
So this can take from five minutes up to seven minutes cooking on the
medium speed. You need to make sure
that the mixture cooks to around 110 degrees Celsius
or when you start to see that it becomes a bit sloppy.
So like a thicker consistency of
like a yogurt I would say you know that drips down.
The mixture will bubble which is absolutely
normal and agar will kind of become a bit brown in color
and that's when you know that your syrup
is nearly done once it reaches that temperature
or the consistency that you're looking for like
you can see here in the video you want to take it off
the heat you want to turn on your stand mixer
on high speed and start pouring your syrup
on the side very very slowly you want to do this on the
side so that your syrup doesn't touch the whisk by accident
because if it will touch it by accident
it will go everywhere so you have
to be very very careful once you've poured all your syrup you're
going to continue to whisk on high speed until you will see
the mixture will double in size
and cool down and become nice
and firm make sure that you don't over whisk the mixture or it will
become runny and the zephyr will not work anymore
so you really need to watch this step here and
not leave the stand mixer side to make sure
that you get nice stiff peaks. As the agar agar sets
at around 40 degrees celsius the mixture will start to set as well
so you really need to work
quickly here. You go around in a circle motion just like you can see
in the video. So repeat the
process until you've done all your zephyr
and then once it's all ready you're gonna leave it to set
overnight or ideally for 24 hours.
Now once they're done I do recommend adding a bit of icing
sugar on top of each zephyr because it will be very very sticky
and using your hands you can
dip them in icing sugar as well.
You want to peel first half of the zephyr and then glue it together
with your second half.
Take them off very nice and gentle and the both halves will glue easily
together. And then you want to dip it back into the icing sugar.
I have prepared a little bowl
here where I've put my icing sugar
so it's easy for me to dip my zephyr. And you just want to go
around and repeat the process until you've done your entire zephyr.
So this recipe will make 24
halves and 12 full large zephyrs like
this like I said if you want to make
more you can just increase the recipe zephyr will
also harden as it sits in a
room temperature
so the longer you leave it the longer it will stay and have a
look how does it look inside it's
absolutely delicious you can see that
it's gone really really fluffy inside it's quite chewy
on the outside i absolutely love this flavor
it's one of my favorites
and it really brings me to my childhood yeah i really hope you enjoyed
this recipe and i can't wait to see your creations
