Let's Cook
-
Step 1.
Pour the cream into a large mixing bowl and whisk with a handheld electric whisk until firm peaks form, about 2–3 minutes. The cream should hold its shape when the whisk is lifted.
-
Step 2.
In a separate small bowl, whisk the honey and lemon juice together until well combined, then stir in the lemon zest and natural yogurt until smooth.
-
Step 3.
Using a sharp knife, split the vanilla pod in half lengthwise and scrape the seeds into the yogurt mixture. Stir until the seeds are evenly distributed.
-
Step 4.
Fold the yogurt mixture into the whipped cream using a metal spoon, gently combining until no streaks remain. Divide the syllabub among four glasses or bowls, then refrigerate for at least 30 minutes until set. Before serving, drizzle with extra honey if desired and sprinkle the chopped pistachios over the top.
