RECIPE TIPS
DROP SOME CALORIES
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.

Syllabub can last for a few days in the fridge.

Can I add limoncello to this recipe and if so how much should I add?

Does it matter which white wine is used please- sweet or dry? Or prosecco?:)

2Acrisp
Older recipes I've seen usually suggest a sweet wine is used.

Hi. I have found it hard to get whipping cream locally. Can I use double cream instead of whipping cream and if so do I need to change anything else in the recipe if I do? Thank you

Hi, thanks for your question. Yes it's fine to swap to double cream - it will just give a slightly richer syllabub (you can also use half double cream and half low fat or 0% fat yogurt, for a lighter syllabub). We hope this helps. Best wishes, BBC Good Food Team.
