Claudia's Lemon Posset

People say that the harder you work the greater the rewards, I beg to differ, Lemon Posset could be made by a dead person it’s that easy. Having said that my little sister did go a little overboard with her first attempt and added the juice of 6 lemons as opposed to 3, rendering the pudding terrifyingly wince inducing. This, her second attempt, was absolutely delicious.


It is delicious with shortbread which is very easy to make, I’ll do that another time, I was in a rush so I scooped it out of the ramakin and dumped a few strawberries on it. Boom.


Ingredients: (Serves whoever gets there first)

800ml double cream
175g caster sugar
Juice of 3 lemons


Strawberries


Method:

1. Pour the sugar and cream into a saucepan and bring to the boil, simmer for a minute or so and take off the heat before stirring in the lemon juice. Pour into ramekins and leave to cool to room temperature, slide them into the fridge to set for at least 3 hours or overnight. It’ll keep for a couple of days so you can make it for yourself and have it for pudding after at least five of the most important meals of the day.
