A beautiful and fresh summer dessert.
Servings: 4
Prep Time2 minutes
Cook Time10 minutes
Setting Time1 hour
Total Time1 hour 10 minutes

Ingredients

  • 284 ml carton extra thick double cream
  • 2 oz sugar
  • juice and zest of one lime
  • 1 tbs elderflower cordial

Instructions

  • Gather your ingredients. Zest and juice the lime.
  • Put the cream in a saucepan and bring to the boil. Keep a close eye on it to ensure that it doesn't boil over. Be warned that this can happen very fast. 
  • As the cream is heating, add the lime zest to the cream.
  • Once the cream has come to the boil, add the lime juice, sugar and cordial. Simmer for about a minute, stirring well to dissolve the sugar. 
  • Pour the lime and elderflower posset into serving dishes (I find these quantities fill 4 ramekins or 6 espresso cups). Allow to cool and then chill in the fridge for about an hour. I served them with biscuits and strawberries marinated in elderflower cordial.
