Nigella Lawson Turkish Delight Syllabub Recipes

Steps:

• Mix the cointreau, lemon juice and sugar in a large bowl, stirring to dissolve the sugar.
• Slowly stir in the cream and then begin to whisk with an electric mixer.
• Whisk until the cream is fairly thick, but not thick enough to hold its shape.
• Sprinkle in the flower waters and keep whisking until you have a light and airy mixture that forms soft peaks.
• Be careful, it's better to have it a bit too runny than too thick.
• Spoon into small glasses, letting the mixture come up over the rim of the glass.
• Scatter finely chopped pistachios on top.

Steps:

• Pour the amaretto liqueur into a bowl with the sugar and lemon juice and whisk to mix.
• Whisk in the heavy cream and whip this mixture until it has thickened but is still soft and billowy.
• Crumble 2 little amaretti biscuits into each of the 4 glasses (each with a yield of about 2/3 cup).
• Divide the syllabub between the glasses on top of the crumbled biscuits.
• Crumble another macaroon or 2, and sprinkle this golden rubble over the top of all the glasses to give a fine sprinkle of crumbs on each. Serve the remaining amaretti alongside the syllabub.

Steps:

• Hull and chop the strawberries and put into a bowl and add the sugar and pomegranate juice and leave to macerate while you whip the cream.
• Whip the cream in a large bowl until thick but still soft. Roughly crumble in 4 of the meringues nests - you will need chunks for texture as well as a little fine dust.
• Take out about half a cupful of the chopped strawberries, and fold the meringue cream and rest of the fruit mixture together.
• Arrange on 4 serving plates or glasses or in a mound, and top each with some of the remaining macerated strawberries.

Steps:
