Bramble syllabubs with a splash of ginger

15 minutes + chilling

Method

  1. Put the lemon zest and juice in a large bowl with the sugar, liqueur and ginger wine and stir until the sugar dissolves. Add the cream, a bit at a time, beating constantly with a balloon whisk. Continue beating until the mixture just holds its shape but be careful not to over-beat - syllabub goes on thickening after the beating stops.
  2. Spoon into small dishes or glasses and chill (you can make these up to 24 hours in advance). Decorate with a few blackberries, dust with icing sugar, and serve with plenty of ginger thins.

    Far too sweet - all that sugar concealed any flavour of ginger, lemon or blackberries.
