🥘 Ingredients
1/2 pint of cream, 1/4 pint of sherry, half that quantity of brandy, the juice of 1/2 lemon, a little grated nutmeg, 3 oz. of pounded sugar, whipped cream the same as for trifle No. 1489.
👨🍳 Method
Mix all the ingredients together, put the syllabub into glasses, and over the top of them heap a little whipped cream, made in the same manner as for trifle No. 1489. Solid syllabub is made by whisking or milling the mixture to a stiff froth, and putting it in the glasses, without the whipped cream at the top.

⭐ Reader Reviews
Honest opinions from readers who have explored this book.
I tried my hand at Whipped Syllabubs this week, and I must say, it was a delightful journey back in time. The combination of cream, sherry, brandy, and lemon juice was surprisingly refreshing, with the nutmeg adding a warm, aromatic twist. I found the process of whisking the mixture to a stiff froth surprisingly satisfying, like a little arm workout disguised as cooking. This recipe is perfect for the adventurous weeknight cook looking to impress with a vintage touch. The most delightful surprise was the texture - the syllabub was light and airy, almost like a boozy, creamy cloud. I served it in small glasses, and it was the perfect end to a meal. Next time, I might try it with a dollop of whipped cream on top, just for a bit of extra indulgence.
