Cooking & Drinking Downton: The Syllabub

December 26, 2012 by biz.w.harris@gmail.com Leave a Comment

I already mentioned our AMAZING Christmas Eve, right? But I didn’t tell you how to make the magic elixer that that got everyone (I mean EVERYONE) to sing their hearts out…

I found this recipe in a fun newish southern food magazine, The Local Palate, and adapted it to my tastes… I feel like it could be fun to have on NYE or maybe in lieu of eggnog, but beware, they are strong, delicious, and super filling. seriously. Let me know what you think!

Coffee Syllabubs
Serves 8

2 C Whipping cream
1/2 C coffee flavored liqueur (like Kahlua)
1/2 Amaretto (like Disaronno)
1 C light brown sugar

Blend and whip the ingredients together until frothy (but not too frothy or the cream will be too stiff to drink easily) just before you’re ready to serve and garnish with nutmeg or cinnamon.

And a photos of the syllabubs in action, plus the singing and merriment!

Biz’s Note: Syllabubs got referenced by Ms. Padmore on the episode of Downton Abbey Airing 1/12/14. I was BESIDE myself!
