Easy Lemon posset
Lemon posset is by far the easiest dessert you can make. It delivers softly set, lemon-scented cream that is perfect served with fresh fruit.

Ingredients
- 2 cups (500ml) heavy/whipping cream
- 3/4 cup (175g) sugar
- ¼ cup (60ml) fresh lemon juice
- 1 tbsp lemon zest approximately 2 lemons worth
Instructions
- Pour the cream into a medium saucepan and add the sugar.
- Set over medium heat and stir until the sugar has dissolved.
- Bring to a simmer and the moment it start to boil, remove from the heat then stir in the lemon juice and zest.
- At this point you can strain the lemon posset mixture through a fine-mesh strainer but I don't bother.
- Transfer the mixture to small serving dishes like ramekins, jars or bowls then place in the fridge and allow to chill and set for at least 6 hours but ideally overnight.
