Description

Discover the effortless charm of Lemon Posset, a creamy and tangy British dessert made with just three ingredients—perfect for any occasion! This no-bake treat is quick to prepare, naturally gluten-free, and sure to impress your guests.

 


Ingredients

  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (approximately 34 lemons)

Instructions

  • Prepare the Cream Mixture:
    Combine heavy cream and sugar in a medium saucepan. Heat over medium, stirring until the sugar fully dissolves. Bring to a gentle simmer without boiling.
  • Add Lemon Juice:
    Remove from heat and stir in freshly squeezed lemon juice. Mix thoroughly to combine.
  • Cool and Set:
    Allow the mixture to cool for 10 minutes. Pour into serving glasses or ramekins, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 4 hours until fully set.
  • Garnish and Serve:
    Once chilled, garnish with fresh berries, mint, or powdered sugar if desired. Serve and enjoy!

Notes

  • For a smoother texture, strain the mixture before pouring it into serving dishes.
  • Experiment with citrus flavors like lime or orange for a twist.
  • Store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, but do not freeze to preserve its creamy texture.
