Lemon Syllabub image

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.

Time 45m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 cup heavy whipping cream, chilled
½ cup white sugar
¼ cup white wine
⅛ cup fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg (or to taste)
1 sprig fresh mint leaves for garnish
lemon slices for garnish

Steps:

  • Whip the cream and sugar in a chilled bowl, until the cream begins to thicken. Gradually whip in the white wine, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Continue to whip until light and fluffy, but not grainy. Cover the mixture and chill until serving time.
  • 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.

This was a bit too sweet for my taste, but I think I just need to adjust the amount of sugar next time.

I'm not a huge fan of lemon desserts, but this was actually really good. I'll definitely be making it again.

This was a bit too tart for my taste, but I think I just need to adjust the amount of lemon juice next time.
