This has to be the most decadent and the easiest dessert that I’ve ever made. With only 3 ingredients and about 10 minutes of hands-on time, it’s hard to believe the end result could be this tasty AND the technique is almost fool-proof.
When I saw this recipe on the stone soup blog with mouth watering pictures, I know I was going to make it very very soon. And the minute I saw I had some heavy cream leftover after making mango ice cream (recipe following soon), I made it and was not disappointed at all.
Ingredients:
Heavy Cream – 2 cups
Sugar – 2/3 cups
Lemon juice – 5tbsp
Ground Cardamom (Elaichi) – 1tsp
Method:
- Whisk cream and sugar together and bring to a boil on medium heat.
- Simmer for 3 minutes.
- Turn off the heat and stir in lemon juice and elaichi. Cool for 10 minutes.
- Pour into individual ramekins or bowls. Chill for at least 6-8 hours or overnight.

wow,,,will try this soon,
ReplyDeleteNever heard of this recipe. looks so yummy! will the milk not become paneer if we add lemon?
ReplyDeleteThank you all.
ReplyDeleteAipi, I'm not sure if the low fat content in Half-n-half will help in setting the posset. Let me know if you try it.
Sharmi, I was worried about that too. But I think the high fat content in heavy cream (at least 35%) doesn't let it cuddle, but makes it into this creamy pudding consistency once chilled, it's pretty amazing how the state changes from liquid to semi-solid. Do try and let me know if you liked it.
