I remember seeing Nigella Lawson's numerous recipes for Syllabub on her website and in her cookbooks.Syllabub is a traditional English dessert that would include heavy cream, white wine, some sugar, and perhaps some lemon.

I scraped all of it into a bowl and allowed it to set in the fridge for about ten minutes.
What I ended up with was exactly what I wanted -- a light, fluffy, dessert. If only I had some shortbread cookies ...
