Ingredients
- 240 ml heavy cream (double cream)
- 120 ml white wine
- 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 50 g powdered sugar
- 1 tsp lemon zest
- 1 tbsp brandy (optional)
- 1 pinch freshly grated nutmeg (for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, pour the heavy cream and begin whipping it using a hand whisk or an electric mixer on medium speed.
Step 2
As the cream starts to thicken slightly, gradually sift in the powdered sugar to ensure an even consistency. Continue whisking until the mixture forms soft peaks.
Step 3
In a separate small bowl or jug, combine the white wine, fresh lemon juice, lemon zest, and brandy (if using). Stir until well blended.
Step 4
Slowly pour the liquid mixture into the whipped cream while gently folding it in with a spatula. Be careful not to deflate the cream too much—you want the mixture to remain light and airy.
Step 5
Spoon the syllabub mixture into serving glasses or small dessert bowls, filling each about three-quarters full.
Step 6
Cover the glasses with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld together.
Step 7
Before serving, lightly sprinkle each syllabub with a pinch of freshly grated nutmeg for garnish. Serve immediately and enjoy!
