Try using half 0% fat Greek yogurt, half cream for a healthier dessert.

Make it a fresh fruit trifle

Arrange sponge finger biscuits over the bottom of a serving bowl. Mix together 2 tbsp white wine with 1 tsp caster sugar and sprinkle over, then top with mixed fresh fruit. Make up the syllabub as before and spoon over to finish.

    Can anyone tell me what weight a 284 tub is? As a Brit living in the US I miss so many recipes from home and find it hard sometimes to get the correct ingredients :( Thanks and Season's Greetings to All :)

    284 ml is equivalent to 10 fluid oz, which is is also roughly 1 cup in US parlance

    I made this at school for gcse and i loved it. It was so simple and easy to make, because it only took 10 mins, and i put it in the fridge for the rest of the 2 hours. I changed it by adding strawberries and orange zest in the Lemon Syllabub and Orange zest on top. I Loved it Thankyou for putting it on the website. It is now in my binder FOREVER.

    Very sweet and very very rich - delicious but would use the version with Greek yoghurt next time - unable to get Greek Yoghurt, Raspberries or Blueberries here in Mauritius, but managed to get small amount of strawberries - so diced them up and put on top, served with Almond Biscuit. I served it in Martini Glasses, so only a small amount - all but one of my 12 guests loved it. You could use the small cheap wineglasses if you don't have Martini glasses. Would do again but with Greek Yoghurt when we return to the UK.

    Loved this simple quick dessy!!!Made this today!! Instead of wine I used apple juice and two shots of carribean rum, it's quite rich but rum gave it sexy kick, I sprinkled chocolate shavings on top for finish.
