The tanginess of the lemon contrasts with the sweetness of the cream and sugar to create a wonderful flavour. We hope you enjoy making this delectable treat. We used 35% whipping cream as that’s what we have available here in Montreal. In the UK and Ireland you would use heavy cream, which is 48%, we believe. In other places whipping cream might have a higher percentage. Any of these work just fine! #queenelizabeth #queensfavourite #lemonposset #guillermoandsarah Watch more King Charles III Coronation Recipes: 🔥Coronation Quiche Recipe ➡️ 🔥Coronation Aubergine ➡️ 🔥Coronation RACK OF LAMB ➡️ Watch other Royal Recipes: 🔥Queen Elizabeth’s Platinum Jubilee Trifle ➡️ 🔥The Queen’s Favourite Dessert ➡️ 🔥The Queen’s Cocktail➡️ 🔥The Queen’s Favourite Breakfast ➡️ ⏱️VIDEO CHAPTERS⏱️ 00:00 - Lemon Posset Recipe 00:19 - List of ingredients fo Lemon Posset 01:19 - Mixing ingredients for Lemon Posset 03:12 - Pouring Lemon Posset into fancy cups 03:58 - Decorating the Lemon Posset.

DIRECTIONS - Start by zesting the lemon with a microplane or fine grater. - You’ll need 1 tbsp of zest. - Whether you need the zest of 1 or 2 lemons depends on how finely the zest is grated. - Slice a lemon in half and juice it. - Whether you need the juice of 1 or 2 lemons will depend on the size of your lemons and how juicy they are. - You need 6 tbsp of lemon juice. - Pour the cream into a pot. - Then add the sugar and lemon zest and mix until the sugar has dissolved. - Place the pot on medium heat and bring to a rolling boil. - You need to be attentive to make sure the cream doesn’t overflow because it heats up very quickly. - Stir occasionally. - After 8 minutes, remove the pot from the heat. - Measure exactly 2 cups of liquid into a measuring cup. - If you’re over two cups you can boil it a little more to reduce it. - If you’re under you can add a little extra cream into the measuring cup. - Return the liquid to the pot and add the lemon juice and mix well. - Leave to rest for 20 minutes. - While resting a thin skin will have formed over the liquid, so you need to strain it. - Straining also removes the lemon zest and gives a smooth texture to the dessert. - Don’t press into the strainer as you don’t want to push the skin back in, but you can lightly jiggle the strainer. - Now it’s time to pour the posset into containers. - Fill the cups while the liquid is still warm. - Be sure to leave enough room to add some fruit. - If you see any air bubbles, gently tap the cups. - Place in the fridge to set for at least 3 hours. - Take the cups from the fridge to temper at room temperature for 10 minutes before serving. - Garnish with berries. - Blueberries are a popular choice, but including a strawberry makes it prettier, and adding some mint leaves, prettier yet. - Your lemon posset is ready to serve. ➡️ SUBSCRIBE to Guillermo and Sarah We used an excellent new knife in this video, kindly sent to us by Vosteed Cutlery.
