Lemon and Strawberry Syllabub

Syllabubs are classic English dairy desserts made with cream and wine. This is a delicious modern version with added lemon and strawberries.

Ingredients serve 6

250 g strawberries

300 ml cream

125 ml dessert white wine

55 g caster sugar

1 lemon zest and juice

 

Method

Whisk the cream in a bowl until soft peak is reached. Place wine, sugar, lemon juice and zest in a bowl and combine. Fold in the whipped cream. Cut 3 strawberries in half and keep for the top. Slice or chop the remaining strawberries. Divide half of the strawberries in 6 glasses. Divide half of the mixture in the glasses on top of the strawberries. Place the remainder of the cut strawberries on top and fill with the remaining syllabub mixture. Decorate each dessert with half a strawberry, half a slice of lemon, chocolate shavings and drizzle some chopped toasted macadamia nuts. Place in the fridge for at least 4 hours before serving.

Note: Try other combination of fruit such as lime and raspberries.
