Spring Dessert Everlasting Syllabub
This traditional British dessert is a silky, citrus-infused whipped cream delicacy enriched with wine and lightly sweetened.
Equipment
- Handheld mixer or stand mixer (medium to large size)
Ingredients
- 2½ cups heavy whipping cream (or double cream)
- 1¾ cups confectioners’ sugar
- ½ cup sweet wine (white port or sherry)
- ¼ cup Seville orange juice (If unavailable, use half of a lemon and half of a sweet orange)
- Grated zest of 2 lemons
- 1 teaspoon orange blossom water
- Orange or lemon twist for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Pour the cream into a large bowl and slowly add the confectioners' sugar, whisking continuously until dissolved.
- While whisking, gradually add the sweet wine, orange juice, lemon zest, and orange blossom water.
- Using a stand mixer or a handheld mixer on medium speed, whip the mixture until it forms stiff peaks, about 5 to 7 minutes.
- Spoon the mixture into serving glasses or a large serving bowl.
- Garnish with an orange or lemon twist if desired.
- Refrigerate for up to 3 days before serving.
Notes
- A stand mixer is ideal for achieving stable peaks without over-whipping.
- This dessert can be made ahead, making it perfect for dinner parties.
- For a nonalcoholic variation, consider using sweetened grape juice or a fruit syrup in place of wine.
