Ingredients (8 servings)
6 piece(s) Lemons (untreated)
600 ml Cream
some Lemon zest
130 g Sugar
150 ml Lemon juice
dash Vanilla extract (optional)
handful Raspberries (optional)
some Mint (optional / as garnish)
  • First rinse the lemons well and cut in half, then carefully remove the flesh with a spoon. Press the pulp through a fine sieve and measure out 150ml of lemon juice.
  • Chill the hollowed-out lemon halves.
  • Heat the cream, lemon zest and sugar (optionally a little vanilla extract) in a small pan over a medium heat, stirring constantly. Simmer the mixture for about 5 minutes so that it reduces slightly and the sugar dissolves completely. Stir constantly to keep it from burning.
  • Remove the pan from the heat and then stir in the lemon juice.
  • Pour the mixture through a fine sieve, leave to cool for 2-3 minutes and then pour into the previously cooled lemon halves.
  • Leave the lemon possets to set in the fridge for at least 2 hours, but preferably overnight.
  • Garnish with fresh raspberries, lemon zest or a little mint to your liking.
