Number Of Ingredients 3

300 ml double cream
75 g caster sugar
juice 1-2 lemons

Steps:

  • Pour the cream into a small saucepan and add the sugar. Slowly bring to the boil, stirring constantly to dissolve the sugar. Once it comes to the boil, let the cream bubble for a further 3 minutes, stirring all the time.
  • Remove the pan from the heat and pour in the juice of 1 lemon, stirring the mixture thoroughly as you do so. It should start to thicken instantly. Taste the mixture and add a little more lemon juice if it's not tart enough. The posset should be sweet, tangy and creamy.
  • Allow to cool for about 5 minutes, then pour into individual glasses. Cover with cling film and chill in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours or overnight. If the possets are very firm, take them out of the refrigerator 15 minutes before serving to soften. Serve with dessert biscuits, langues de chats or almond biscuits.

Time 1h5m

Number Of Ingredients 8

600ml double cream
200g golden caster sugar
zest 3 lemons, plus 75ml juice
140g cold butter, diced
140g plain flour
85g golden caster sugar, plus extra for dusting
50g ground rice (or more flour if you can't find it)
85g flaked almond

Steps:

  • Make the posset first. Put the cream in a big saucepan with the sugar and gently heat, stirring, until the sugar has melted. Bring to a simmer and bubble for 1 min. Turn off the heat and stir in the lemon zest and juice. Divide between pots or bowls, cool to room temperature, then carefully cover and chill for at least 3 hrs, or up to 24 hrs.
  • To make the shortbread, heat oven to 160C/140C fan/gas 3. Whizz the butter and flour together in a food processor until no lumps of butter remain (or rub together with your fingertips). Tip into a bowl and stir in the sugar, ground rice and almonds. Line the base of a roughly 22cm square tin with baking parchment. Tip in the mixture and press it down firmly, making it as flat as you can. Dredge with more sugar and bake for 25-30 mins until pale golden. Cool in the tin.
  • Cut the shortbread into shards and serve with the possets and little spoons.

Tips:

  • Choose the right lemons: For the best flavor, use fresh, unwaxed lemons. Meyer lemons are a good option, as they have a sweeter, less tart flavor.
  • Zest the lemons finely: This will help to release the lemon's oils and give the posset a more intense flavor.
  • Use a heatproof bowl: When whisking the hot cream and lemon juice together, it's important to use a heatproof bowl to avoid it cracking.
  • Strain the mixture: After whisking the cream and lemon juice together, strain it through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any lumps.
  • Chill the posset thoroughly: Chilling the posset for at least 4 hours, or overnight, allows the flavors to meld and develop.
  • Serve chilled: Serve the posset chilled, garnished with lemon zest or a dollop of whipped cream.

Conclusion:

Gordon Ramsay's lemon posset is a simple but elegant dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its creamy, tangy, and refreshing flavor, it's sure to be a hit with everyone. So next time you're looking for a delicious and easy dessert, give this lemon posset a try. You won't be disappointed!
