Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 ml Heavy cream
- 75 ml Limoncello liqueur
- 1 tablespoon Lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 50 grams Powdered sugar
- 8 pieces Amaretti cookies
- 4 pieces Fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, pour the heavy cream and whisk it until it begins to thicken, but do not let it become fully stiff.
Add the limoncello liqueur, lemon zest, lemon juice, and powdered sugar to the partially whipped cream. Gently whisk again until the mixture forms soft peaks. Be careful not to overwhip.
Crush the amaretti cookies into coarse crumbs using a rolling pin or a food processor. Reserve a small amount for garnishing.
Divide the crushed cookies equally among 4 dessert glasses or bowls, creating a base layer in each one.
Spoon the limoncello syllabub mixture over the crushed cookies, filling each glass or bowl.
Sprinkle the reserved cookie crumbs on top for decoration.
If desired, garnish each dessert with a fresh mint leaf for a pop of color and added aroma.
Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving to let the flavors meld together.
