Lemon Posset-A Quick & Easy Summer dessert

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.

Recipe adapted from the Stone Soup blog:
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.
Here's a Pictorial for making Lemon Posset.

  6. I am all for a quick and tasty recipe- it looks delightfully yum with the refreshing lemon flavor n the creamy texture! Was wondering if the recipe would work with half n half instead of cream ..

  8. Thank you all.

    Aipi, 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.
