Lemon Syllabub—it may sound like a Pokemon character—-but it’s actually a delicious English Dessert dating back to the 16th Century! And YES its still delicious! It even made an appearance on one of my favorite shows, Downton Abbey.

The original version of this dessert was a drink made with cream that was curdled with wine or sherry and sweetened. This modern version is whipped to a glorious thickness and flavored with lemon juice, zest, sugar and your favorite white wine – it’s very light and refreshing—you can whip up this dessert in under 10 minutes. If you wanted to make a kid friendly version, you can substitute apple cider for the white wine.
