Lovely lemon posset
Stash pots of this dessert in the fridge for an after-dinner delight!
I love to make up little pots of lemon posset and stash them in the fridge for an after-dinner delight. Creamy, tangy and indulgent all at once, this classic dessert is my idea of a beautiful summertime treat. With only 4 ingredients, and about 10 minutes of preparation time, this dessert can be whipped up in no time, and topped with whatever fruit you have on hand. Serve in appropriately sized portions, and devour with a teaspoon.
But before we dive into the recipe, I'm pleased offer the option to gift a subscription to my weekly recipe newsletter and members-only space here on Substack. This is a lovely idea for someone who loves to cook! It’s only $6 per month, or a discounted yearly option is also available.
Ingredients:
450ml cream
¼ cup honey or pure maple
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
6 tbsp lemon juice
Combine the cream and honey in a small saucepan over a low heat. Bring to the boil slowly, whilst stirring to dissolve the honey.
Once it comes to the boil, let the cream bubble away gently for three minutes or so, stirring continuously. It can easily bubble over - keep a close watch!
Remove from the heat and add the lemon juice, stirring thoroughly as you do so. It will begin to thicken slightly,
Place in the fridge for at least 2 hours or so until thick. The longer, the better! The consistency will be thick, creamy and perfect for diving into with a spoon.
Serves 4 ( you can easily half or double the recipe as you need to!)
With love, Eleanor xo
