Apple-Lavender Zefir


Ingredients:

Applesauce (no sugar added) - 125 g

Egg whites - 35-40 g (white of one egg)

1 scoop of Organika Enhanced Collagen Pure Beauty
Raw Cane Sugar - 100 g (or replace with monk fruit sweetener 1:1)

Citric acid - 1/3 tsp. 
Lavender Essence & Colour - a few drops
For syrup:
Agar-agar (gel strength - 900) - 7 g (3.5 tsp)
Water - 80 ml 
Raw Cane Sugar - 250 g 
For sprinkling marshmallows use powdered monk fruit

Preparation:
1.  To make applesauce, apples can be baked or boiled on the stove until soft, then rubbed through a sieve.
2. Put chilled applesauce in a mixing bowl, add sugar (100 g), collagen, vanilla extract, citric acid and egg white. Beat with a mixer until fluffy dense mass, to persistent peaks, about 5-10 minutes.
3. Prepare sugar syrup for cooking: in a saucepan, mix agar-agar, water at room temperature and sugar (250 g).
4. Put the saucepan with sugar and agar-agar on fire and cook the syrup over low heat until the sugar dissolves. From the moment of boiling, cook the syrup for 5-6 minutes. Ready syrup should flow down with stretching threads. The temperature of the syrup should be 110°C. Remove the finished sugar syrup from the heat.

5. Start whipping the apple-protein mass again at a low mixer speed and, without ceasing to beat, pour hot syrup into it in a thin stream. Then increase speed to high and beat until stiff peaks form, about 3-4 minutes.

6. Transfer the marshmallow mass to a pastry bag with a nozzle. Squeeze marshmallows onto parchment paper or a baking mat. Let marshmallows stabilize at room temperature for 8-12 hours.
7. Sprinkle marshmallows with powdered sugar (monk fruit) or mixed powdered sugar with cornstarch (1:1). Combine marshmallow halves in pairs, shake off excess powder.
