Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 ml Heavy cream
- 100 g Granulated sugar
- 75 ml Lemon juice
- 1 lemon Lemon zest
- Fresh berries (optional, for garnish)
- Mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the heavy cream and granulated sugar.
Gently heat the mixture over medium-low heat, stirring continuously, until the sugar dissolves and the cream begins to simmer. Avoid letting it boil vigorously.
Once the mixture reaches a gentle simmer, continue cooking for an additional 2 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the lemon juice and lemon zest. The acidity from the lemon juice will cause the mixture to thicken slightly.
Allow the mixture to cool for about 10 minutes, then strain it through a fine-mesh sieve to remove the zest for a smooth texture (optional).
Pour the mixture evenly into 4 serving glasses, ramekins, or bowls.
Refrigerate the possets for at least 4 hours or overnight to set firmly.
Before serving, you can garnish each posset with fresh berries and a sprig of mint for added flavor and presentation.
Serve chilled and enjoy this creamy, citrusy dessert!
