Ingredients

For the Buttered Rum Berries:

20 g butter
20 g white sugar
20 ml rum
100 g mixed berries I used half blueberry and half raspberry

For the Syllabub:

150 ml double cream
2 dsp icing sugar
1 tbs juice from the buttered rum berries
2 tbs dry white wine or champagne

To Serve:

100 g mixed berries
1 tbs flaked almonds – toasted optional
2 sprigs of mint optional

Instructions

Put the butter, sugar and rum into a small pan and heat until melted. Add the berries and gently cook for a few minutes until the berries are soft, but still holding their shape and the liquid is syrupy. Remove from the heat and allow to cool.
In a large bowl whisk the cream, sugar, juice and wine or champagne together until thickened, but still floppy.
Divide the berry mixture between two glasses. Gently dollop the cream mixture over the meringue. I use a jam funnel to get it neatly into the glass. Smooth it down if needed.
Top with the fresh berries, toasted almonds and a sprig of mint.
Serve immediately, or keep in the fridge for a few hours before serving.

Who could not love a syllabub? An indulgent cloud of softly whipped sweetened cream and champagne. Delicious, light and super easy to make too it ticks my boxes for the requisite effort to glory ratio. Serve in a glass to impress. Perfect for a romantic meal in too.
