Lemon Posset
Oh how I love this elegant British dessert. The Posset is a creamy smooth pudding that has only 3 ingredients and chills in the fridge overnight. Yes Please! The magic, or science rather, that creates this effortless dessert without the help from eggs or gelatin is the combination of acidity from the lemons which work to solidify the proteins in the cream. So the next time you are looking to impress with as little effort as possible. This is your recipe.
