directions
- Pour the cream into a small saucepan and add the sugar. Slowly bring to the boil, stirring constantly to dissolve the sugar. Once it comes to the boil, let the cream bubble for a further 3 minutes, stirring all the time.
- Remove the pan from the heat and pour in the juice of 1 lemon, stirring the mixture thoroughly as you do so. It should start to thicken instantly. Taste the mixture and add a little more lemon juice if it’s not tart enough. The posset should be sweet, tangy and creamy.
- Allow to cool for about 5 minutes, then pour into individual glasses. Cover with cling film and chill in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours or overnight. If the possets are very firm, take them out of the refrigerator 15 minutes before serving to soften. Serve with dessert biscuits, langues de chats or almond biscuits.

Hi My name is Dee, I live in Ireland and love cooking, I trained to be a chef for a while but due to personal circumstances I unfortunately had to quit.
I love all sorts of cooking, baking, dinner parties, desserts etc. I especially love creating dishes myself or tweaking some of my favourites.
I love comfort foods, like stew, casseroles etc. I also love entertaining and I am always looking for something new to try.
