Snowball creams
Inspired by a classic Snowball cocktail, this easy six-ingredient dessert is flavoured with boozy, custardy Advocaat and zingy citrus. Set in cocktail glasses and top with cherries to mimic the tipple itself

Ingredients
- 600ml double cream
- 200g caster sugar
- zest of 2 lemons, plus 75ml juice
- zest of 2 limes
- 150ml Advocaat
- 18 maraschino cocktail cherries
Step by step
-
Pour the cream into a saucepan, add the sugar and gently heat, stirring occasionally, to melt the sugar. Once melted, bring up to a simmer and bubble gently for 2 minutes, stirring regularly. Remove from the heat and stir in the citrus zests and juices (you will notice it thicken slightly), followed by the Advocaat, until combined. Transfer to a jug, then divide evenly among 6 cocktail glasses or small ramekins. Cool to room temperature, then carefully transfer to the fridge. Chill for at least 4 hours, or up to 2 days ahead, until set.

To serve, top with the cocktail cherries, threaded onto small skewers or cocktail sticks, if you like.
