Delicious Lemon Posset Recipe - Simple 3 Ingredients Drink

Ingredients

Servings:
10
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup fresh lemon juice (About 2-3 lemons)

Instructions

5 steps

  1. Heat the Cream

    In a saucepan, combine the heavy cream and sugar. Heat over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves and the mixture begins to simmer.

    Do not let it boil.
  2. Add Lemon Juice

    Once the mixture simmers, remove it from heat and stir in the fresh lemon juice.

    Stir well to combine.
  3. Cool the Mixture

    Allow the mixture to cool at room temperature for about 15 minutes.

    This helps to thicken the posset.
  4. Refrigerate

    Pour the mixture into serving cups or bowls and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until set.

    Overnight refrigeration works best.
  5. Serve

    Once set, serve chilled. You can garnish with lemon zest or berries if desired.
