Lovely presentation Denise. Had to google posset as I'd never heard of it.  What a simple recipe, I still don't understands how it sets though.

Can't say I've heard of it either Judy.  Looks lovely tho Cornish. 

[Cornish Cream]

Thanks Judy and Julie.

It seems to thicken when you add the lemon juice to the warm cream Judy.There must be some chemical reaction or something

Last night we were watching UK Masterchef and one of the contestants made lemon posset. I've seen it a few times on UK cooking shows.  Its not something I've tasted before, it looks really nice so I decided to make it today.

This recipe is super easy, saying that I didn't really follow the recipe completely. I didn't have double cream so I used normal thickened cream. I was worried because it wasn't double cream it might not set, so I mixed a small spoon of cornflour in milk and added that to the cream. I cooked it for a couple of minutes longer, taking it to 85 degrees instead of 70 degrees.

It was lovely, thick, creamy and smooth. I made some shortbread to go with it. It was delicious.
