Ingredients
For the lemon possets
- 3 cups (750 ml) heavy cream, 35% fat
- the lemon zest from 2 lemons (see notes)
- ¾ cups (150 grams) white sugar
- pinch of salt
- ¼ cup (60 ml) lemon juice
- 2 teaspoons (10 ml) vanilla extract
For serving:
- fresh fruit, mint leaves
Instructions
- Heat the cream: Transfer the cream, the sugar, the salt and the zest to a deep pot and heat over medium high heat until it starts to boil. Reduce the heat and boil, stirring constantly, for 1-2 minutes, taking care not to boil over.
- Make the Posset: Add the lemon juice and the vanilla extract to the pot and stir to combine. Pass the cream through a strainer and into a jug to catch the zest and any lumps.
- Serve: Divide the mixture between 6 - 8 serving glasses or bowls and chill in the fridge until cold (2-3 hours). Serve with fresh fruit and a mint leave.

Notes
- You can also use the zest from 1 lemon and 1 lime (the same goes for the juice).
- For a more tangy dessert increase the lemon juice to ⅓ cup (80 grams).
- Boil the cream for 1-2 minutes but stir it constantly and be careful because it can boil over. Boiling the cream will infuse it better and will make it thicker because some of the water will evaporate.
