A fail safe winner of a pudding, This recipe utilises the subtle flavours of a sweet pudding wine combined with the zesty zing of orange and lime to create a perfectly balanced pudding.
From the Lesson Workbook
Orange, Lime & Sauternes Syllabub
A refreshing, citrussy and creamy pudding that works beautifully served with little shortbreads or langue du chats.
Ingredients
- 1 large orange
- 2 ½ limes
- 80-100ml Sauternes
- 50g caster sugar
- 300ml double cream
Method
- Zest and juice the orange and limes into a large mixing bowl. Pour in the Sauternes and mix in the sugar till it dissolves. Leave for 30 mins (ideally overnight, the longer the better.)
- When you are ready to make your syllabub, pour the double cream into the juice and Sauternes mix.
- With an electric whisk, begin to whip the ingredients together paying close attention to the cream's consistency. When the syllabub begins to thicken and feels heavy on the whisk, stop whisking. The syllabub should be soft and fluffy, not stand in peaks.
- Gently spoon the syllabub into 6 glasses. Refrigerate or serve immediately with shortbread or langue du chats.
