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.

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.

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.

Time 45m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

284 ml double cream
2 medium egg whites
100 g caster sugar
2 lemons, zest of, finely grated
3 tablespoons lemon juice
grated fresh lemon rind (to garnish)
dessert biscuit, to serve

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!
