A quick and easy creamy lemon posset dessert topped with fresh berries, delivering a silky texture and bright citrus flavor perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (480 ml) heavy cream
  • 2/3 cup (130 g) granulated sugar
  • 1/3 cup (80 ml) freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest (optional)
  • 1 cup (150 g) fresh berries (raspberries, blueberries, strawberries)
  • Mint leaves for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine 2 cups (480 ml) of heavy cream and 2/3 cup (130 g) granulated sugar. Warm over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar dissolves completely and the mixture just starts to simmer (small bubbles appear around the edges), about 5-7 minutes. Do not boil vigorously.
  2. Stir in 1 teaspoon of finely grated lemon zest and let it steep off the heat for 1-2 minutes.
  3. Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in 1/3 cup (80 ml) of freshly squeezed lemon juice. The mixture will thicken almost immediately.
  4. Pour the lemon-cream mixture through a fine mesh sieve into a clean bowl or measuring jug to remove zest bits and lumps.
  5. Divide the strained posset evenly into 4 small glasses or ramekins.
  6. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or preferably overnight until set.
  7. Before serving, top each posset with fresh berries and a sprig of mint if desired.

Notes

Use fresh lemon juice for best flavor and proper setting. Do not boil the cream vigorously to avoid grainy texture. Straining ensures a smooth posset. Chill for at least 4 hours or overnight for best results. If too thick after chilling, let sit at room temperature for 5 minutes before serving. For dairy-free version, substitute heavy cream with full-fat coconut milk.
