How to Make Lemon Posset
  1. Start by hollowing out the pulp of 4 extra lemons. These will serve as charming little cups for your posset. Alternatively, you can use ramekins for a different presentation.
  2. In a small saucepan, blend heavy cream and granulated sugar. Stir gently and heat over medium heat until it reaches a gentle boil, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Remove the saucepan from heat, then add fresh lemon juice. Stir well until the mixture is smooth and creamy with a lovely lemony aroma.
  4. Carefully pour the lemon mixture into the hollowed lemon cups or ramekins. Refrigerate until set, which takes about 5 hours.
  5. Before serving, add a beautiful garnish of fresh mint, lavender, or a sprinkle of additional lemon zest for that extra touch of elegance.
