Lemon Posset

Lemon Posset

This is a deliciously decadent English lemon cream dessert. It is important that you follow the boiling instructions carefully but trust us − the results are well worth it.

  • Serves 2
  • Prep Time
  • Cook Time
  • 300 ml cream
  • ¼ cup caster sugar
  • juice of 1 lemon
  • grated zest of 1 lemon

1. Place the cream, caster sugar and lemon zest in a saucepan. Stir over a moderate heat and bring to the boil. Continue to boil for 3 minutes.

2. Remove from the heat and stir in the lemon juice. Strain the mixture through a sieve into a jug, to remove the lemon zest.

3. Pour the lemon cream into individual serving dishes. Cool and refrigerate for 3-4 hours, or overnight until set.

Serve garnished with a slice of lemon and a mint leaf.

Handy Tips

For variation place a few fresh raspberries in the base of the serving dishes before poring over the lemon cream. Garnish with raspberries and a mint leaf

I have made this dessert twice now and both times my guests have been really impressed. This is such a creamy smooth dessert and so easy to make. I have served it both in small shot glasses and the last time in a larger glass and presented it on a square plate with ice cream on the side. Thank you food in a minute for a really show stopping dessert.
