Lemon syllabub is a delightful and refreshing dessert that combines the tangy flavors of lemon with the sweetness of fresh strawberries and the rich, creamy texture of whipped cream. This treat is perfect for warm weather and is an elegant ending to any meal.
Instructions:
- Wash and hull the strawberries. Slice them into halves or quarters, depending on their size.
- Place the sliced strawberries into a medium bowl and set them aside.
- In a separate mixing bowl, combine the white wine, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Stir well to mix the flavors together.
- Add the sugar to the wine and lemon mixture. Stir continuously until the sugar is completely dissolved.
- Pour the wine and lemon mixture over the prepared strawberries. Toss the strawberries gently to ensure they are evenly coated with the mixture.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour. This allows the strawberries to absorb the flavors.
- When the strawberries are almost done marinating, it's time to whip the cream. In a large bowl, pour in the heavy whipping cream.
- Using an electric mixer or a handheld whisk, whip the cream until soft peaks form. Be careful not to over-whip the cream.
- Take the marinated strawberries out of the refrigerator. Spoon some of the strawberries and their marinating liquid into serving glasses or bowls.
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the remaining strawberry mixture until evenly distributed, being careful not to deflate the cream.
- Spoon the mixed lemon syllabub over the strawberries in the serving glasses or bowls.
- Optionally, you can chill the Lemon Syllabub in the refrigerator for about 15-20 minutes before serving for an extra cool and refreshing dessert.
- Garnish with additional lemon zest or a few fresh strawberry slices, if desired.
Tips:
- Chill the bowl and beaters before whipping the cream to help it reach stiff peaks more easily.
- Use fresh, ripe strawberries for the best flavor and sweetness.
- Gently fold the lemon mixture into the whipped cream to maintain its airy texture.
- For a more intense lemon flavor, you can increase the amount of lemon zest and juice slightly.
