Divino & simple
Been making posset for years, however, not this recipe.
surely you meant transfer to one big ramekin as you'll eat the entire thing by yourself in one go
don't forget to garnish with one and a half cups of blueberries or raspberries
Is there a way to make this nondairy? I’m extremely lactose intolerant. It sounds delicious!
Oh my gosh. I love anything lemon and going to make this for sure!
Classic, simple, and delicious
Good Lord this looks dummy yummy
I made lemon posset like this, although I used a different recipe from the New York Times, a few months ago. It's important to understand that this is lemon-flavored sugared cream, thickened to a pudding consistency. It's a sugary flavored cream. My point is, you'd better enjoy eating the cream. There is nothing for your ingredients to hide behind here. Unfortunately, the posset was good but it wasn't a hit with my family of weight-watchers and lactose-intolerants because they were averse to cream, even in small quantities. The intense flavor of cream and very idea of eating it turned them off. They're hypocrites who would no doubt eat ice cream, but this is a common prejudice. People make an exception for ice cream, which usually doesn't really taste like cream. Posset really tastes like cream. You'd better use a good cream you will enjoy eating so directly.
Way too much sugar, especially since you are adding fruit.
A heart attack in a cup!
Not usually the type to complain, but what’s with these new style videos that lose the personality? Get your hosts to perk up a little bit!
Could I use homemade confectioners sugar vs granulated? Would this make for a smoother or viscous consistently?
When life gives you lemons…Posset !
Can I substitute Orange? Orange man good. Trump 2020 KAG
So you put in 2 cups of heavy cream and then you have to wait till it reduces to two cups……. I’m lost here or your editing is horrible
🍋 LEMON anything is fabulous! I've never eaten this. Looks so delicious. Thank you.
