  2. Lightly moisten the crumbled biscuits with 2 tablespoons of your favorite dessert wine.
  3. In a large bowl, whip 1 cup of heavy cream with 2 tablespoons of powdered sugar until soft peaks form. (Do not overwhip).
  4. Gently fold in 2 tablespoons of dessert wine.
  5. Add 1/2 cup of your homemade lemon (lime or orange) curd, carefully folding until a marbled effect is achieved. Be gentle not to deflate the cream.

  8. Sprinkle the toasted almonds over each syllabub.
