Equipment
- Sauce pot
- Whisk
- Microplane grater
- Spoons
- Blender
Ingredients
- 200 ml whipping cream
- 100 g peaches purred in a blender
- 2 lemons zest and juice
- 50 g caster sugar
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, combine the heavy cream and caster sugar. Place over medium heat and stir until the sugar dissolves completely. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil and let it simmer for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the fresh lemon juice and peach puree. Mix well until fully combined. Allow the mixture to cool for 5 minutes.
- Pour the warm mixture into serving glasses or into hollowed out lemons/peaches.
- Transfer to the refrigerator and chill for at least 4 hours, or overnight, until set.
- Serve cold straight from the fridge. Garnish with extra peach slices, lemon zest, or fresh mint if desired.
Notes
- Make sure the cream is simmering before you take it off the heat as if this is missed, the cream won’t set as it chills.
- Fresh lemon juice is essential for helping the posset set properly.
- The posset will continue to firm up as it chills.
- This dessert can be made up to 2 days in advance, making it perfect for entertaining.
- I like serving the possets in the shell of the lemon and I also like hollowing out the peaches and setting the posset in it. You could just set the dessert in glasses or bowls.
