A glass of Pimm’s and lemonade epitomises the English countryside. As well as being delicious in drinks try using Pimm’s in a dessert – like this quick and easy boozy Pimm’s & strawberry syllabub.
I love syllabub! I really really really love syllabub – firstly it sounds so pretty and delicious; Syllabub sounds like the name of the dashing heroine in a oh-so-charming 1920’s novel. In another life I was called Syllabub, was the first of my crowd to oh-so-daringly have my hair cut into a sharp bob. You get the drift… Syllabub, syllabub, syllabub!
Secondly syllabub is delicious and thirdly it is also stupidly easy to make, and if you serve it heaped into wine glass it looks so impressive. It is the perfect summer pudding for either a dinner party, or for a romantic dinner.
To make this Pimm’s dessert inspired syllabub you simply cut up some strawberries, marinade them in Pimm’s. Whip the cream, adding some of the strawberry infused Pimm’s then layer it all into a glass. Chill, serve and bask in the glory of your friends compliments. Deliciously quick, easy and above all Fuss Free!

Helen this dessert looks sooo GOOD! Perfect for the nicer weather we’re supposed to have later this week. I will certainly be buying some Pimms.
Helen
Oh, great news that the weather will get better! I cannot wait.

Oooh this looks delicious. And so easy to make! Thanks for sharing ????
Helen

Rachel
I agree Syllabub is a great name and even saying it is mildy satisfying. I chuck Pimms in a trifle, it tastes lovely!
Helen
It is isn’t it? Eating it is somewhat better! Pimm’s trifle sounds amazing!
Dean of Little Steps
I love Pimms! Look forward to trying this one out :)
Helen
I adore Pimm’s – but it is so moreish, you don’t always realise how much you have had until you try and stand up!
Dorothy at Shockingly Delicious
Can you believe I have never had Pimm’s? Must remedy that…so “moreish.” LOVE that expression!
Helen
Pimm’s has been my undoing on many an occasion, it really is far too easy to forget that it is alcoholic and only realise when you try and stand up! You must get some this summer and try it.
Lucy
I recently fell in love with Pimm’s at a friends’ wedding. It’s so delicious and refreshing! I imagine it would be perfect with strawberries and cream in this dessert. Looks so perfect for spring!
Helen
I (half) remember a wedding on a very hot day with free flowing Pimm’s, so delicious and such a celebratory drink.

It’s been years since I even HEARD the word “syllabub” – it does sound kind of exotic and delicious all at once, doesn’t it?
I haven’t ever bought Pimms to use/drink at home, but I sure have spent many an afternoon in and English pub sipping on it! I love that you marinated the strawberries in it. Bet the flavor is amazing! Must seek out Pimms, stat!
Helen
I adore syllabubs! So easy to make, but so so delicious!
Sherri @ Watch Learn Eat
I’ve never had syllabub before but it looks incredible! And, you make it sound so cool! ;) Definitely a must try!
Helen
i love syllabub, such an easy pudding, whip cream, add sugar, flavour and some booze then serve in a pretty glass.
Beth @ Binky's Culinary Carnival
This is absolutely beautiful! I have never seen Pimm’s around here. I’ll have to look. Is it available in a particular flavor? Or probably now a days it’s available in multiple flavors?
Helen
There are a few flavours, I prefer the original but there are a few others to choose from.
Ana De- Jesus
Helen this looks amazing, first time that I am hearing about a syllabub but it sounds so good! I was wondering what would you suggest would be a good mocktail version as I can’t drink x
Helen
A little bit of lemon juice should work in the cream – you want to very slightly curdle it. If you cut and sprinkle the strawberries with sugar you will have a lovely syrup to drizzle over.
Jess Powell (Babi a Fi)
Yum, this looks sooo good! I love that it’s fairly easy to make too as I’m terrible in the kitchen. x
Helen
It is such an easy recipe – whip cream, add sugar, slosh in some booze and whip a little more.
Choclette
I’m with you all the way. I adore syllabub and Pimms, so I’m pretty sure I’d find this way to easy to consume. And it does look very pretty too.
Helen
After the shoot it did vanish fairly quickly.
Izzie Anderton
I’ve bought two litre bottles of Pimms just this morning as it’s one of my favourite drinks for the summer months. Can’t wait to try creating desserts with it too! Thanks for sharing x
Helen
Good investment! Enjoy them. How long will two litres last you?
Kara Guppy
OMG that looks amazing – I so really need to make this
Helen

Sally - Mycustardpie
Your best dessert idea ever. This was designed for Dubai dinner parties. Planning a gathering now so I have an excuse to make it.
Helen
Thank you Sally. I hope you enjoy it!
Sally
Thanks for this looks yummy, can I make it a few hours in advance (without the finishing touches) and keep in the fridge?
I’m making it for tonight !
Many thanks
Sally
Helen
Absolutely fine to make a few hours before – but any longer it can separate.
