Lemon Posset / The Queen's Favourite Dessert

Lemon Posset was one of the Queen's Favourite desserts, and the lemon posset was served at her wedding with Prince Philip. The Queen had quite a sweet tooth, and Lemon Posset was regularly on the menu at Buckingham Palace.

Lemon Posset is an easy dessert to make, requiring only 3 ingredients: lemon, cream, and sugar. 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 Quiche Recipe: Every Step to Ma...   🔥Coronation Aubergine ➡️    • Grilled Eggplant with Yogurt and Mango Sau...   🔥Coronation RACK OF LAMB ➡️    • Asian-Style Roast Rack of Lamb by Ken Hom   Watch other Royal Recipes: 🔥Queen Elizabeth's Platinum Jubilee Trifle ➡️    • Queen's Elizabeth's Platinum Jubilee Trifl...   🔥The Queen's Favourite Dessert ➡️    • Lemon Posset / The Queen's Favourite Dessert   🔥The Queen's Cocktail➡️    • The Queen's Favourite Cocktail: Dubonnet a...   🔥The Queen's Favourite Breakfast ➡️    • Easy Homemade Marmalade Recipe / The Queen...   ⏱️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. INGREDIENTS 2 large lemons 2 cups heavy cream* 2/3 cup sugar We used 35% whipping cream as that's what we have available here in Montreal.

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    / @guillermoandsarah   We used an excellent new knife in this video, kindly sent to us by Vosteed Cutlery.
