Inspired by Aerogel, the world's lightest solid material, Bompas & Parr is introducing "the world’s lightest dessert" based on the technical process of super-critical drying that's used in the formation of Aerogel. This fall, people are being invited to Taste the Sky and try the world’s lightest meringue for themselves at Tanween by Ithra, the largest Creativity Season in Saudi Arabia.
At the event, visitors will also have the chance to experience an immersive history of the meringue and see the unconventional dessert, which is said to be like "eating a fragment of the sky." The ultra-light dessert was developed in partnership with Germany's Aerogelex by creating an aerogel with egg albumin, also known as the major protein constituent of egg whites.
