  • Lemon Posset was one of the Queen's Favourite desserts, and the lemon posset was served at her wedding with Prince Philip. The Queen had quite a sweet tooth, and Lemon Posset was regularly on the menu at Buckingham Palace.

    Thank you!!
    Lemon Posset is an easy dessert to make, requiring only 3 ingredients: lemon, cream, and sugar. The tanginess of the lemon contrasts with the sweetness of the cream and sugar to create a wonderful flavour. We hope you enjoy making this delectable treat.
    We used 35% whipping cream as that's what we have available here in Montreal. In the UK and Ireland you would use heavy cream, which is 48%, we believe. In other places whipping cream might have a higher percentage. Any of these work just fine!

    INGREDIENTS
    - 2 large lemons
    - 2 cups heavy cream*
    - 2/3 cup sugar
    * We used 35% whipping cream as that's what we have available here in Montreal. In the UK and Ireland you would use heavy cream, which is 48%, we believe. In other places whipping cream might have a higher percentage. Any of these work just fine!
    DIRECTIONS
    - Start by zesting the lemon with a microplane or fine grater.
    - You’ll need 1 tbsp of zest.
    - Whether you need the zest of 1 or 2 lemons depends on how finely the zest is grated.
    - Slice a lemon in half and juice it.
    - Whether you need the juice of 1 or 2 lemons will depend on the size of your lemons and how juicy they are.
    - You need 6 tbsp of lemon juice.
    - Pour the cream into a pot.
    - Then add the sugar and lemon zest and mix until the sugar has dissolved.
    - Place the pot on medium heat and bring to a rolling boil.
    - You need to be attentive to make sure the cream doesn’t overflow because it heats up very quickly.
    - Stir occasionally.
    - After 8 minutes, remove the pot from the heat.
    - Measure exactly 2 cups of liquid into a measuring cup.
    - If you’re over two cups you can boil it a little more to reduce it.
    - If you’re under you can add a little extra cream into the measuring cup.
    - Return the liquid to the pot and add the lemon juice and mix well.
    - Leave to rest for 20 minutes.
    - While resting a thin skin will have formed over the liquid, so you need to strain it.
    - Straining also removes the lemon zest and gives a smooth texture to the dessert.
    - Don’t press into the strainer as you don’t want to push the skin back in, but you can lightly jiggle the strainer.
    - Now it’s time to pour the posset into containers.
    - Fill the cups while the liquid is still warm.
    - Be sure to leave enough room to add some fruit.
    - If you see any air bubbles, gently tap the cups.
    - Place in the fridge to set for at least 3 hours.
    - Take the cups from the fridge to temper at room temperature for 10 minutes before serving.
    - Garnish with berries.
    - Blueberries are a popular choice, but including a strawberry makes it prettier, and adding some mint leaves, prettier yet.
    - Your lemon posset is ready to serve.

    If you're not royalty, just put the pot in the fridge after it cools down. 1 hour later, take it out, get yourself a big wooden spoon and plant yourself in front of your TV, dig in. Wooden spoon is to prevent scratching noises at night so other dwellers in the house won't wake up and ruin your night.

    I made this and it was wonderful! This came on my feed like my device knew what was in my refrigerator. I even have a pot of mint outside. It brightened my August day and I had to take some to my neighbor, after her 8 hour shift. I love that it's only 3 ingredients. My head gets lost when a recipe has too many steps and ingredients. It's so smooth, creamy and tangy. I did contemplate less sugar because I try to avoid it. Doing that wouldn't work because it's perfect.

Yes, it has a lot of sugar, but it's not a dessert to have often, but as a rare treat. 🙂 Sarah

    Funny thing. This can be easily turned into a cold lemon pie. Just make a base of buttered roasted graham cracker base, pour this on top and chill.
    Makes a perfect summer lemon pie.
    Can also be made with limes (I prefer it).

      @@GuillermoandSarah I've learned it from a Colombian girlfriend, the original version of the desert is called "Carlota de Limon" but they also make a simplified version called "Postre de Limón Simple" as in Simple Lemon Desert.
      My ex just used to prepare the very same posset you demonstrated. Make a base of finely crumbled Graham crackers, toasted in butter with honey and using that to create a base in, allowing it to cool then she would pour the posset over the base, and let it chill for a few hours.

    People, this lady is sharing her cooking experience with us. Not all countrys make, name dishes or even eat the same things using the same recipes. If that were the case the world would be boring in my opinion. If you think the way she makes this dish wrong then don't try it. Find another one you think is right. I don't understand why you can't keep your negative attitudes and comments to yourselves.
    And yes, I should have probably kept all of the above to myself but some days the human race just blows my mind! Was I the only one raised with " if you don't have something nice to say, then say nothing?" Its not pudding, its not cheesecake, its not suppose to be thick, its Posset!

      @@GuillermoandSarah Thank you for your kind words. Sometimes people just blow me away and I find it hard to keep my comments to myself. I was touched by the fact that you replied very politely to each insult. That's the way I was raised and you just don't come across many people like that anymore. Funny you mentioned Florida. I was born in Florida but now live in Virginia. I'll tell you my lemon tree story. About 3 years ago while visiting coastal North Carolina (Beaufort NC- my happy place!) I found a Meyer Lemon tree at a nursery. Purchased and drove it 5 hours home. Planted in container. Left in container and I bring inside in winter as I wasn't sure if it would survive outside winter. Research was conflicting. Back outside in spring. No lemons first 2 years. This year however my little 4 foot tree has so far given me 13 lemons and is still full of unripe fruit. I have already brought inside for the winter. This became such a challenge for me to do because everyone told me " I can't believe you bought that. No way will you get it to produce fruit." Obviously, I couldn't be happier! I will subscribe to this channel as I don't do Facebook. Thank you again for your kind words.

      @@tracys.6033, it's really great to hear that you were touched by our replies. It's challenging with a CZcams channel because you are sort of on your own, putting content out into the wilderness, and you don't necessarily have much of a connection with how people are receiving it. Sometimes we see friends or acquaintances at a party (a rare thing for us these days!) and they tell us they watch all our videos, or they made a recipe, and it's amazing to hear, because we really don't know who is watching us! People can be very rude. Honestly I notice it more as a pedestrian walking around our neighbourhood than I do here with the comments. At least it aggravates me more. People don't feel compelled to stop at pedestrian crosswalks anymore, even though it's the law to do so, and even if you have a kid with you!! We have a good friend here in Montreal who's mom lives in Virginia. Do you have some lights to shine on your tree? That might help it. There are special ones you can buy to shine on your plants through the winter that mimic daylight. Thanks for subscribing to our channel!
