Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ cups heavy cream
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- ⅓ cup fresh lemon juice (about 2–3 lemons)
- Zest of 1 lemon
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, combine the heavy cream, granulated sugar, and a pinch of salt. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture just begins to simmer and the sugar has dissolved. Do not let it boil.
- Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the fresh lemon juice and lemon zest. Mix well until fully combined.
- Let the mixture cool for about 10 minutes, then pour it into individual serving cups or ramekins.
- Cover the cups with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until set. For best results, chill overnight.
- Once set, serve chilled. You can garnish with additional lemon zest or fresh berries if desired.
Notes
- For a twist, try adding a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the cream mixture for a richer flavor.
- Substitute lime juice for lemon juice for a refreshing lime posset variation.
