Make a classic British dessert with this simple Lemon Lime Posset recipe. Ultra-creamy yet light, these individual possets are set with a combination of lime and lemon juice. Use freshly squeezed juice to give this velvety dessert a bright, clean citrus flavor. The recipe will make enough for six servings.
Made with heavy cream and sugar and infused with fresh lime and lemon juice, this recipe requires no fancy techniques. The hardest part is waiting for the possets to chill and set in the fridge. Just before serving, microplane the zest and mix it with some sugar. Sprinkle the sugar-zest mixture evenly over the possets and garnish with whipped cream if desired. Enjoy!
To make the Lemon Lime Posset, you will need the following ingredients:
In a small saucepan over medium-high heat, heat 2 ¼ cups heavy cream and ¾ cups sugar. Bring to a boil and cook, stirring constantly, for 3 minutes. If the cream is bubbling too much, reduce the heat to medium, but maintain a vigorous simmer. To prevent the cream from boiling over, remove the saucepan from the burner for a few seconds, then return it to the burner and continue stirring.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and whisk in 5 tablespoons fresh lemon juice and 4 tablespoons fresh lime juice.
Pour the mixture evenly into the serving ramekins or glasses. Cover and chill for at least 4 hours or until set.
Using a microplane, zest one lemon and one lime to get 1 teaspoon of each. Mix the zest with 1 teaspoon sugar.
Just before serving, sprinkle the zest over the possets and garnish with whipped cream if desired.
