I'm gathering ideas for a decent or mix to include in my first session in a few weeks. I was thinking of whisking some egg whites and sugar for essentially what is a raw meringue (would this work?).
I may have some left over Xanthan, could this be added to the whites for an extra sticky texture?
Normally I'll use pudding made from milk and those boxed instant mix powders that are like 30 cents each. That's when there will only be a few of them because when there's a lot and I don't have time for them to sit out and warm up I end up freezing cold. Like shivering to the point that it shows up on video.
In that case I'll use cake batter colored brown for chocolate, yellow for banana, and slightly yellow for vanilla. The only way you can't tell that it isn't real is by taste.
Shaving foam works well in terms of volume/effect and can be mixed with colourings too. Just be sure to get an unscented one or risk stinging your eyes!

Thanks in advance.
Yep this can be done - the sugar makes it sticky enough but xanthan gum acts as a stabiliser to stop your raw meringue separating or going grainy
It will also stabilise it if you make Italian meringue but that require very hot sugar so xanthan is the easier way
