Ingredients
- 1 3/10 pt double cream
- 5 3/10 oz caster sugar
- 4 lemons
Instructions
- 1Place the double cream, caster sugar, and the finely grated lemon zest into a saucepan.
- 2Heat gently over low heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar has fully dissolved and the cream is just below the scalding point (warm enough to touch but not boiling).
- 3Remove the saucepan from the heat and immediately stir in the freshly squeezed juice of the four lemons.
- 4If you prefer a smoother texture, strain the mixture through a fine‑mesh sieve to remove the zest.
- 5Divide the posset evenly among cocktail glasses or individual ramekins.
- 6Allow the mixture to cool to room temperature, then cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until fully set.
- 7Before serving, optionally garnish each serving with a thin slice of lemon, a few fresh berries, or a light dusting of powdered sugar.
- 8Serve chilled and enjoy the bright, creamy lemon flavor.
