Ingredients
- 125 ml Sweet dessert wine or muscat
- 2 tbsp Lemon juice
- 1 tbsp Rosewater
- 75 g Golden caster sugar
- 500 ml Double cream
- 25 g Unsalted pistachios
- 1 tbsp Dried rose petals (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
In a large bowl, combine the sweet dessert wine (or muscat), lemon juice, rosewater, and golden caster sugar. Stir to dissolve the sugar completely.
Step 2
Pour in the double cream and begin to whisk the mixture using a hand whisk or an electric mixer. Whisk until the mixture thickens to a soft, billowy consistency. Be careful not to over-whip, as the texture should be light and airy.
Step 3
Finely chop the unsalted pistachios and set aside. These will add a delightful crunch to the dessert.
Step 4
Divide the syllabub evenly into small dessert glasses or ramekins. Aim for an elegant presentation, as this dish is all about indulgence.
Step 5
Sprinkle the chopped pistachios over the top of each serving and, if desired, garnish with dried rose petals for an extra touch of visual and aromatic appeal.
Step 6
Chill the syllabubs in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
Step 7
Serve chilled and enjoy this romantic, fragrant dessert that’s perfect for special occasions or a luxurious end to a meal.
