Ingredients

  • 500 ml fresh heavy cream
  • 150 g sugar
  • 1 orange zest from 1 orange
  • 60 ml orange juice
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Instructions

  • In a medium saucepan, combine the fresh heavy cream and sugar. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar has dissolved completely and the mixture is just about to boil.
  • Once the cream is heated, remove it from the heat. Stir in the zest of 1 orange, orange juice, and lemon juice. The mixture will begin to thicken as it cools.
  • If you prefer a smoother texture, pour the mixture through a fine mesh sieve into a large bowl or individual ramekins.
  • Let the Orange Posset cool to room temperature, then cover them with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until set.
  • Once set, serve the Orange Posset chilled. You can garnish with fresh fruit, whipped cream, or a drizzle of white chocolate raspberry mousse cups.

Notes

  • Store the posset in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Consider using different citrus fruits for variation.
