Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 ml Heavy cream
- 50 ml Scotch whisky
- 2 tbsp Lemon juice
- 1 tsp Lemon zest
- 50 g Caster sugar
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 2 pieces Shortbread biscuits, crushed (optional, for garnish)
- 100 g Fresh berries (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the Scotch whisky, lemon juice, lemon zest, caster sugar, and vanilla extract. Whisk lightly to dissolve the sugar.
Pour the heavy cream into the bowl with the whisky mixture.
Using a hand mixer or a whisk, whip the mixture until it forms soft peaks. This means it will hold its shape but still appear slightly creamy and not too stiff.
Taste the mixture and adjust with a little more sugar or lemon juice if needed, depending on your preference.
Spoon the syllabub mixture into individual serving glasses or bowls.
Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving to allow the flavors to meld and the dessert to chill properly.
Just before serving, optionally garnish with crushed shortbread biscuits and a few fresh berries for added texture and flavor.
Serve chilled and enjoy!
