Light, refreshing, and with a little bit of complementary tartness? Look no further than this dessert called Lemon Syllabub! Coming from across the pond, this dessert is the perfect treat that is literally whipped together in seconds. Better yet, this recipe is a no-alcohol version, making it an adult and kid-friendly sweet. 

Originating from England, syllabub started out as a drink combining heavy cream and alcohol (either a hard cider-like alcohol or something close to a sherry). Since its recorded documentation in the 17th century, the drink has evolved to have less alcohol and more cream, becoming more of a soft mousse than an actual drinkable mixture. However loose and stiff it was made, syllabub had a specific presentation in the form of a syllabub glass, which was like a short parfait glass in a mildly slender, sloping V-shape. 

This version is a bit different from traditional syllabub, as it uses simple apple juice or cider, making it an alcohol-free version that both kids and adults can enjoy.

All of the ingredients are mixed together in a bowl and then whipped until thickened and slightly stiff. 

The result? A light, airy, and fluffy kiss of creamy lemony sweetness. The juice is in perfect contrast to the rich silkiness of the cream.

The lemon juice and zest brighten the whole dessert up with just the right amount of tangy citrus flavor. 

It’s the perfect dessert to make in the pinch, as well as one to make during the warmer weather months. It’s elegant without being fussy; it’s something you can dress up or down for any occasion.
