Amaretto Syllabub image

This is really an Anglo-Italian hybrid: the syllabub is entirely English, though the liqueur used makes it Italian in the extreme. The crumbled Amaretti biscuits give a trifle-like contrast of soaked sponge and soft cream. Utterly delicious, and the work of moments to make, this is something you can pull out anytime you want to end a dinner party with aplomb.

Time 15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

1/3 cup amaretto liqueur
2 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 cup heavy cream
1 (8-ounce) packet amaretti morbidi (soft almond macaroons)

Steps:

  • Pour the amaretto liqueur into a bowl with the sugar and lemon juice and whisk to mix.
  • Whisk in the heavy cream and whip this mixture until it has thickened but is still soft and billowy.
  • Crumble 2 little amaretti biscuits into each of the 4 glasses (each with a yield of about 2/3 cup).
  • Divide the syllabub between the glasses on top of the crumbled biscuits.
  • Crumble another macaroon or 2, and sprinkle this golden rubble over the top of all the glasses to give a fine sprinkle of crumbs on each. Serve the remaining amaretti alongside the syllabub.

I'm giving this recipe one star because it's the lowest rating I can give. This syllabub is the worst dessert I've ever had.

I wouldn't recommend this recipe. It's a lot of work and the results are just not worth it.

This syllabub is just okay. It's not bad, but it's not great either.

I'm not sure why this recipe calls for amaretto. I think it would be just as good without it.

This recipe is a bit confusing. I'm not sure what the instructions mean when they say to 'whip the cream until stiff peaks form'.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my syllabub didn't turn out as thick as I expected. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

This syllabub was a bit too sweet for my taste, but it was still very good. I think next time I'll use less sugar.

This syllabub was a delightful treat! The combination of amaretto and citrus was perfectly balanced, and the texture was light and fluffy. I especially enjoyed the contrast between the creamy custard and the tangy fruit.
