1
Reserve a little zest for decoration, if you like.
Whisk together the cream and sugar until it forms soft peaks, then add the lemon juice, whisk again, and then repeat with the wine.
For that really retro feel, serve in wine glasses. Otherwise, any individual dishes that you have.
Chill in the fridge for at least 2 hours before serving. It can be made the night before and chilled overnight.
Decorate with lemon zest (optional).
Chef's Tips
Serve on its own or with fresh fruit, such as raspberries and / or blueberries, or raspberry coulis, and biscuits (e.g. shortbread, langues de chat, almond or ginger thins, ratafias or other types of macaroon).
If you want to make your own almond biscuits to go with this, try my recipe for Almond and orange bite-sized biscuits under Baking.
