How to Make Lime And Lemon Posset

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine 2 cups heavy cream and ¾ cup granulated sugar.
  2. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring constantly until the sugar is completely dissolved.
  3. Reduce heat to medium-low and continue to simmer gently for 3 minutes, stirring constantly to prevent scorching.
  4. Remove from heat and immediately stir in ¼ cup fresh lemon juice and 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice.
  5. Let the mixture cool for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  6. Gently stir the mixture again and divide evenly among six ½-cup ramekins or custard cups.
  7. Cover the ramekins and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, until the possets have set completely.
  8. While the possets are chilling, prepare the garnish: In a small bowl, combine 1 teaspoon granulated sugar with finely grated zest from ½ a lemon and ½ a lime.
  9. Just before serving, sprinkle the lemon-lime zest and sugar mixture over each posset.
