Belev pastila
Description
The dish is prepared without unnecessary complications. I'd like to point out that although the recipe for Belovskaya marshmallow is simple, it is quite time-consuming and has its own peculiarities. You'll only need three ingredients, so this dessert can confidently be called not only delicious and healthy, but also quite budget-friendly. The finished dessert can be served at the table.
