LEMON POSSET

New Zealand lemons are outstanding at the moment and this simple English dessert never fails to impress.  This is one of the easiest desserts to make, with only a few ingredients. Resulting in a light, silky, lemony set cream.

Serves 4

Ingredients

600 ml cream

150g caster sugar

2 lemons, zest

75 ml fresh lemon juice (approx)

Method

Gather together 4 glasses or something similar to set the possets in when ready.

Pour the cream into a deep sided saucepan and add the sugar.

Bring to the boil then reduce slightly to prevent boiling over.  Whisk the mixture for a minute.

Add the lemon zest and enough juice so you get a tangy, lemony flavour. Whisk to combine.

Pour into your glasses and refrigerate for at least 4-6 hours or overnight.

The possets will set during this time and to serve simply add a light, crunchy biscuit.

They will last for 3 days in the fridge.
