Lovely presentation Denise. Had to google posset as I'd never heard of it.  What a simple recipe, I still don't understands how it sets though.

Thanks Judy and Julie. :-*

It seems to thicken when you add the lemon juice to the warm cream Judy.There must be some chemical reaction or something :-\

Last night we were watching UK Masterchef and one of the contestants made lemon posset. I've seen it a few times on UK cooking shows.  Its not something I've tasted before, it looks really nice so I decided to make it today.

This recipe is super easy, saying that I didn't really follow the recipe completely. I didn't have double cream so I used normal thickened cream. I was worried because it wasn't double cream it might not set, so I mixed a small spoon of cornflour in milk and added that to the cream. I cooked it for a couple of minutes longer, taking it to 85 degrees instead of 70 degrees.

It was lovely, thick, creamy and smooth. I made some shortbread to go with it. It was delicious.
