Ingredients

How to make Lemon Posset

  • In a saucepan, stir 3 cups of cream and sugar.
  • Bring it to boil and cook for at least 3 minutes.
  • Stir the lemon juice.
  • Pour the mixture into serving glasses.
  • Refrigerate about 5 hours until it sets.
  • Pour a little more cream over the top just before serving.

TIP: For fresh lemon flavour in the recipe, cut the sugar to 1 cup and add the zest of one lemon. Serve it in small antique sundae glasses topped with a splash of cream, 3 raspberries and a sprig of mint.  

Trivia

A posset was originally a traditional British hot drink made of milk curdled with wine or ale, often spiced, and used as a remedy.

The word "posset" is mostly used now for a cold set dessert based on the 16th-century variant of the drink, containing cream and lemon, similar to syllabub.
