LEMON, LIMONCELLO & RASPBERRY POSSETS
Indulge in vibrant flavors with these delightful treats! Tangy lemon and sweet raspberries mingle with a hint of limoncello in a silky, creamy custard. Enjoy the bright flavors of summer berries...incredibly easy to make, they're the perfect light and refreshing dessert for any occasion. Garnish with a fresh mint sprig for extra freshness.
Ingredients
- About 6 frozen raspberries per ramekin or more as you prefer
- 2.5 cups heavy cream
- 3/4 cup caster sugar (superfine sugar)
- 1 tsp pure vanilla essence or 1 vanilla bean, seeds scraped
- Grated rind and juice of 2 good sized lemons (I used 3 smaller ones)
- 5-6 tbsp limoncello liqueur, or to taste
Instructions
- Divide the frozen raspberries between 6 ramekins.
- Place the cream, caster sugar, vanilla (or vanilla bean and seeds), into a saucepan and bring to a steady simmer over a low heat (stir to ensure the sugar dissolves). Simmer for 5 minutes (an important step for the custard to set).
- Remove from heat and whisk in the grated rind, lemon juice and Limoncello liqueur. Taste at this point to check you’re happy with the flavour and adjust as needed.
- Strain into a large pouring jug then pour over the berries in the ramekins and cool. You’ll notice some of the berries bob up to the top – this is perfectly normal.
- Chill overnight, or at least 6 hours, until set firm.
- Serve the chilled custards as they are, or with piped cream.
