You are all so wonderful and have taught me so much about learning to love the food I cook and eat.
Do you have this recipe in real measurements?

This dessert is actually easier to make than this in the UK as their cream is already at the correct fat percentage of 40% to coagulate properly without reduction. The reason Tim needed "precision" in reducing to 2C is that in the US our cream is only 36% fat (too dilute) and we need to remove a minimum amount of water before adding the acid.
Thanks to Annie Petito for this recipe.
It's a very old, British recipe usually served with shortbread biscuits (cookies).
They had me at 2 cups of heavy cream
Interesting. The reason you need to boil the mixture so long and measure until it is reduced to exactly two cups is because American heavy cream has less butterfat (and more water) than British double cream. If you can get your hands on double cream, it is faster to make and no need to measure to make sure it is exactly two cups.
More Tim!
Tim is my OCD precision spirit animal
Tims nuts havent even dropped yet why he on here
Tim is good at this, making me take more time with precision.
The most over complicated Posset method ever ! It’s really not this difficult !
I made this the first time today, but I added the lemon juice before I took off heat. Its cooling now so I will see how it turned out in 3 hours.
That ‘bit’ with the toy was really stupid and unnecessary
Heavy whipping cream? Or half and half?
You'd have to eat 3 of them to make a helping
Talk about over complicating this, use thick cream and the continuous measuring is never done unless you want to show you've never made one before
I am a hero in the kitchen again to my Mrs.! She is addicted! TY
More Tim !!!
Love the videos!! Keeeeep it up!
How do you start with 2 cups of cream then reduce down to 2 cups?
I miss the days when this show wasn't full of cringey scripted dialogue.
Love watching your show theses days. Do you have a great recipe for a deep rich cioppino.?
Why is she just repeating everything this guy says…?
This is a stupid question because of the use of heavy cream – but can sugar substitutes work with this?
A "Posset" and a Jackalope (imaginary animals) are not the same as a Liger, which is the actual hybrid offspring of a Lion and Tiger.
The Lemon Posset looks awesome. More Tim!
More Tim videos! Relatable cook 👍 (the nervousness will adjust with exposure). Simple recipes are awesome, keep them coming
