It's Valentine's Day next week. Are you thinking of treating a loved one to something special? Or are you the one being treated? Maybe you hate how commercial it has all become but want to do something nice for someone else on another day?

And if you really want to push the boat out, then I've got a couple of main course recipes for you that will be just the ticket - I will share those with you over the next few days. For now, here is the dessert recipe...Enjoy!
Lemon Syllabub (serves 2)
Ingredients:
1 lemon, zest & juice
30ml white wine (or limoncello liqueur)
50g caster sugar
4 amaretti or ginger biscuits
Method:
- Mix the lemon juice, most of the zest and the white wine (or limoncello) together.
- Pour the cream into a large bowl and whip together with the sugar.
- Drizzle in the lemon mixture (see step 1) and whisk until combined. Divide between 2 small glasses or pretty bowls and refrigerate for at least an hour.
- Just before serving, crumble up the biscuits and sprinkle over each dessert with a little lemon zest. If you like, serve each with another biscuit.

That sounds refreshingly yummy. Do you usually use the wine or the liqueur?
ReplyDeleteHi Softie! I like anything lemon and this one is really yummy (I think). I use the white wine for this as I couldn't get the liqueur in a small enough bottle. You could also make it without the alcohol - especially if making for kids. Kirsten x
