LEMON SYLLABUB
This is a deliciously light, creamy, sophisticated little dessert from days gone by. I first tasted it at a supper given by a lecturer in seventeenth-century literature when I was at college, and it took our tastebuds right back to the Restoration. It can be prepared as either a parfait or a punch--please note that either version contains alcohol, so you may not want to serve this to younger family members.

- Serve in chilled parfait glasses, garnished with a dash of nutmeg, a sprig of mint, and a slice of lemon. Syllabub should be eaten with a small spoon, and savored.

LEMON CURD SYLLABUB
A simple but nice dessert. I use my homemade lemon, lime or orange curd for this. I like it best with gingersnap cookies but you can use lemon or shortbread biscuits/cookies. The almonds you toast in a dry frying pan.

LEMON SYLLABUB
I love this recipe. It is a delightful pudding for the end of a lasrge meal. We usually have it on boxing day as another option to Christmas Pud. The prep time includes the 30 min. chill time.

Steps:
- Pour the cream into a bowl and whip until it just holds its shape.
- Place the egg whites into a separate bowl and whisk them (I use an electric hand whisk) until stiff.
- Add the sugar 1 tbsp at a time, whisking well between additions until the mixture is smooth and glossy but still stiff.
- Gently fold the finely grated lemon rind into the whipped cream, along with the lemon juice and egg whites until everythiong is well mixed.
- Spoon into 4 serving glasses and chill.
- for 30 minutes Garnish with lemon rind and serve with dessert biscuits.
Tips:
- Make sure the cream is very cold before whipping it. This will help it reach stiff peaks and create a light and fluffy syllabub.
- Use fresh lemon juice for the best flavor. Bottled lemon juice can be used in a pinch, but it will not have the same bright, citrusy taste.
- Sweeten the syllabub to taste. Some people prefer a tart syllabub, while others prefer it to be sweeter. Add sugar or honey until you reach the desired sweetness.
- Serve the syllabub immediately or chill it for a few hours before serving. Chilled syllabub is especially refreshing on a hot summer day.
- Garnish the syllabub with fresh berries, citrus zest, or mint leaves for a festive touch.
Conclusion:
Lemon syllabub is a classic English dessert that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. With its light and fluffy texture, bright citrus flavor, and creamy sweetness, it's the perfect dessert for any occasion. So next time you're looking for a delicious and refreshing treat, give lemon syllabub a try!
