Ingredients

• 500 ml Heavy Cream (Double Cream)
• 150 grams Granulated Sugar
• 75 ml Lemon Juice (freshly squeezed)

Directions

Step 1

Pour the heavy cream into a medium-sized saucepan and add the granulated sugar.

Step 2

Place the saucepan over medium heat. Stir gently with a wooden spoon until the sugar dissolves completely.

Step 3

Bring the mixture to a gentle boil and allow it to cook for 3 minutes, maintaining a low boil to avoid scorching.

Step 4

Remove the saucepan from the heat and let it cool for 2-3 minutes.

Step 5

Stir in the freshly squeezed lemon juice. Mix until fully incorporated; you will notice the mixture thickening slightly as a reaction to the lemon juice.

Step 6

Pour the lemon posset mixture into individual serving glasses or ramekins. Leave some space at the top for optional toppings, such as whipped cream or fruit.

Step 7

Allow the possets to cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes, then cover the glasses with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight, to set completely.

Step 8

Once set, serve the possets chilled. Garnish with a dollop of whipped cream, a few fresh berries, or a sprig of mint, if desired.
