Lemon Posset

This velvety smooth dessert is a dream come true for lemon lovers. With just a few ingredients, you can whip up a refreshing dish that’s stunningly delicious. Plus, it’s essentially a fancy pudding that makes you look like a gourmet chef without all the complicated steps!

Lemon Posset Dessert ### Ingredients:

2 cups heavy cream
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (about 2 large lemons)
Zest of 1 lemon (for that extra zing!)
Fresh berries or mint leaves (optional, for garnish)

Instructions:

In a medium saucepan, combine the heavy cream and granulated sugar over medium heat. Stir it gently until the sugar dissolves and the cream begins to steam (but don’t let it boil!).
Once the sugar is dissolved, remove the pan from heat. Let the mixture cool for a minute, then stir in the fresh lemon juice and lemon zest. This is where the magic happens—your kitchen will smell like a citrus wonderland!
Pour the delightful mixture into individual serving cups or ramekins. Let it cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes, and then pop them into the fridge. Chill for at least 4 hours, or overnight if you can resist!
When you’re ready to serve, take them out of the fridge and maybe add some fresh berries or a sprig of mint on top for a pop of color. Voilà! You’ve just created a dessert that’s as impressive as it is delicious.

And there you have it! A Lemon Posset that’s not only simple to prepare but also promises to brighten your day with its cheerful flavors.
