Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 240 ml heavy cream (double cream)
- 120 ml white wine
- 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 50 g powdered sugar
- 1 tsp lemon zest
- 1 tbsp brandy (optional)
- 1 pinch freshly grated nutmeg (for garnish)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, pour the heavy cream and begin whipping it using a hand whisk or an electric mixer on medium speed.
As the cream starts to thicken slightly, gradually sift in the powdered sugar to ensure an even consistency. Continue whisking until the mixture forms soft peaks.
In a separate small bowl or jug, combine the white wine, fresh lemon juice, lemon zest, and brandy (if using). Stir until well blended.
Slowly pour the liquid mixture into the whipped cream while gently folding it in with a spatula. Be careful not to deflate the cream too much—you want the mixture to remain light and airy.
Spoon the syllabub mixture into serving glasses or small dessert bowls, filling each about three-quarters full.
Cover the glasses with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld together.
Before serving, lightly sprinkle each syllabub with a pinch of freshly grated nutmeg for garnish. Serve immediately and enjoy!
