A sweet yet simple ending from Gordon Ramsay's Cookalong Live.

Watch Gordon's video on how to zest a lemon or lime

Serves 4

Ingredients

  • 500ml double cream
  • 1 lemon, zest and juice
  • 1 lime, zest and juice
  • 75g icing sugar
  • 50g (or 5) Ginger nut biscuits

Method: How to make lemon and lime syllabub

1. Pour the cream into a large bowl and sift in the icing sugar. Grate in the zest of the lemon and lime and squeeze in the juice from both – straining through a sieve to avoid any pips. Whisk the cream until it just begins to reach stiff peaks.

2. Lightly crush 4 of the biscuits with your fingers and divide into the bottom of the serving glasses. Reserve the 5th biscuit for the garnish.

3. Spoon the syllabub into the glasses. If you have time at this stage, you can refrigerate the syllabubs for a couple of minutes to help them set.

4. Use a grater to finely grate over the remaining biscuit and serve.

  1. My friend made this for me last night. It was so good I'm going have a bash myself. Finally something I can't burn! (Note to self - buy an electric whisker.)

  15. Found this one easy to do, and yet still tastes lovely. If you want to make it more difficult, jenfr, maybe try doing it standing on your head and singing the national anthem backwards?! I've made mine already - minus biscuits to go on top, and it tatses LOVELY! :-)

  16. If your 2 year old can make that send them round to mine! After making the rest of the courses and being full on lasagne this is my idea of a perfect dessert! Think I'd be sick if I tried to eat cheesecake after the first two courses! I can't wait! Em

  17. Im dead dissapointed that all were getting is cream and biscuits this week gordon if i wanted to eat cream and biscuits id just be a pig and dip them in the tub of cream without messing dishes and having to clean my pain in the arse grater. Next week i wanna make chocolate muffins or a huge cheesecake or even a souffle something that i can impress with not something my 2 year old could make thanks jennifer
