Zephyr is a rare dessert that has a flawless, joyful appearance with minimal physical, time and material costs. True, marshmallow has one peculiarity: the finished product should spend at least five hours in the refrigerator so that its shape and texture take the proper form. When you cook, remember that this recipe uses a raw egg, and let it be an egg from a supermarket that has passed all sanitary checks, and not a random one bought at the market.
