Tips

  • Whipping by hand for the original recipe takes a full half hour, but a hand mixer can do it in a few minutes.
  • This version avoids the curdled cream separation seen in non-everlasting syllabubs, resulting in a more pleasing texture.
  • It's great on its own, with fruit, on a cake, or after a big holiday meal.
