"Not only is it a delicious pudding, but it’s a pudding with history, harking back to the late medieval. Originally it might have been a cooling drink with, it was thought, some medicinal properties but is has now morphed into this rich and creamy pudding. And that name! “Posset”. It just reeks of the Georgian; wildly impractical clothing, whispers hidden behind a wafting fan... You get it. This lemon posset freezes really well. As a result, it’s perfect for entertaining: just whip up a large batch beforehand, use shot glasses or ramekins for serving and everybody will be impressed."

Step by Step Method
Step 1
Put the cream and sugar into a large saucepan, bring to the boil and simmer while stir for 3 minutes.
Step 2
Remove from the heat, add the lemon juice, and stir well.
Step 3
Pour the mixture into individual dishes (ramekins, wine glasses, espresso cups - it is very rich so a smaller serving is better) and refrigerate for at least 3 hours.
Step 4
Serve with a slice of lemon and a little cream poured on top. You can also add a raspberry and two blueberries for a pop of color.
Note: this freezes very well. If you have frozen it, pour a little cream on top before serving, just to fill in any cracks.
