TURKISH DELIGHT SYLLABUB

Categories     dessert

Time 10m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

3/4 cup orange-flavored liqueur (recommended: Cointreau)
2 lemons, juiced
8 tablespoons sugar
Just under 2 1/2 cups heavy cream
2 tablespoons rose water
2 tablespoons orange-flower water
2 tablespoons finely chopped shelled pistachios

Steps:

  • Combine the orange-flavored liqueur, lemon juice and sugar in a large bowl (I use the bowl of my freestanding mixer) and stir to dissolve the sugar, or as good as. Slowly stir in the cream then get whisking. As I said, I use my freestanding mixer to this, but if you haven't got one, don't worry - but I would then advise a handheld electric mixer. This takes ages to thicken and doing it by hand will drive you demented with tedium and impatience. Or it would me.
  • When the cream's fairly thick, but still not thick enough to hold its shape, dribble with the flower waters and then keep whisking until you have a cream mixture that's light and airy but able to form soft peaks. I always think of syllabub as occupying some notional territory between solid and liquid; you're aiming, as you whisk, for what Jane Grigson called "bulky whiteness." Whatever: better slightly too runny than slightly too thick, so proceed carefully, but don't get anxious about it.
  • Spoon the syllabub in airy dollops into small glasses, letting the mixture billow up above the rim of the glass, and scatter finely chopped pistachios on top. In my How to Eat cookbook, there's a recipe for pistachio crescents that would be fabulous dunked into and eaten with this. But only if you feel like it: the cool, fool-like smoothness of this is perfect as it is.

Time 15m

Yield 1 1/4 liters, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

12 tablespoons Cointreau liqueur
2 lemons, juiced
8 tablespoons caster sugar
600 ml double cream, just under
2 tablespoons rose water
2 tablespoons orange flower water
2 tablespoons pistachios, finely chopped

Steps:

  • Mix the cointreau, lemon juice and sugar in a large bowl, stirring to dissolve the sugar.
  • Slowly stir in the cream and then begin to whisk with an electric mixer.
  • Whisk until the cream is fairly thick, but not thick enough to hold its shape.
  • Sprinkle in the flower waters and keep whisking until you have a light and airy mixture that forms soft peaks.
  • Be careful, it's better to have it a bit too runny than too thick.
  • Spoon into small glasses, letting the mixture come up over the rim of the glass.
  • Scatter finely chopped pistachios on top.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the syllabub will be. Use fresh fruit, good-quality cream, and a flavorful wine or liqueur.
  • Chill the ingredients before using: This will help the syllabub to set properly.
  • Beat the cream until stiff peaks form: This will help to incorporate air into the syllabub, making it light and fluffy.
  • Fold in the fruit and wine or liqueur gently: This will prevent the syllabub from deflating.
  • Serve the syllabub immediately or chill it for a few hours before serving: This will allow the flavors to meld together.

Conclusion:

Turkish delight syllabub is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its light and fluffy texture and sweet and tangy flavor, it is sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you are looking for a special dessert, give Turkish delight syllabub a try.
