Zefir

As marshmellow, but more tasty

Zefir is a type of soft confectionery made by whipping fruit and berry purée (mostly apple puree) with sugar and egg whites with subsequent addition of a gelling agent like pectin, carrageenan, agar, or gelatine. The name given after the Greek god of the light west wind Zephyr symbolizes its delicate airy consistency.
Zefir is derived from the traditional pastila confectionery, but with added egg white foam and a gelling agent. The form typically resembles traditional meringue. However, in contrast to commercial-grade meringue, zefir is never crispy. In contrast to most chocolate-coated marshmallow-like confectioneries; zefirs normally come without layers of cookies/biscuits included.
Zefir is usually milky white, may be rose-colored (with berries, cherry, strawberries and such), may have green dye if apple-flavored. Chocolate-coated kind of zefir are also a common, widespread version. Zefir is comparable in its consistency to marshmallows, krembo, or the filling of modern Oreo biscuits (although not its 1902 predecessor with butter, Hydrox).
