Possets are a classic Elizabethan dessert, typically made with wine and eggs. This version updates the concept, substituting cream for the wine and egg mix used during Elizabethan times. It's very east to make, and guaranteed to be a hit.
Ingredients:
700ml double cream
250g caster sugar
juice of 3 lemons
finely-grated zest of 1/2 lemon
50ml double cream, whipped, as a topping
sliced lemon to garnish
Method:
Add the double cream and sugar to a saucepan. Bring just to a boil and stir until the sugar dissolves. Stir-in the lemon zest and cook for 3 minutes then take off the heat before stirring-in the lemon juice. Allow to cool and pour into serving glasses.
Transfer to a refrigerator and leave for about 5 hours, or until completely set. Place a little whipped double cream on top, decorate the rim of the glass with a slice of lemon and serve.
