Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 ml Heavy cream
- 50 ml Lemon juice
- 1 whole lemon Lemon zest
- 50 g Caster sugar
- 75 ml Dry white wine
- 1 tbsp Brandy
- 6 leaves Fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
- 2 slices Lemon slices (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the lemon juice, lemon zest, caster sugar, white wine, and brandy. Stir gently until the sugar dissolves completely.
Using a hand or stand mixer, begin whipping the heavy cream in a separate chilled bowl until it forms soft peaks (do not overwhip).
Gradually pour the lemon and wine mixture into the whipped cream, folding gently with a spatula to fully incorporate. Be careful not to deflate the cream.
Once fully combined, spoon the mixture evenly into serving glasses or bowls.
Refrigerate for at least 2 hours (or overnight) to allow the flavors to meld and the syllabub to firm up slightly.
Before serving, garnish each portion with a fresh mint leaf and a slice of lemon, if desired.
