📝 Preparation Steps
1
Combine the cream, sugar and zest in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Place a 2-cup glass liquid measuring cup next to the stove, because you’ll need it to determine when the cream has finished reducing.
2
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring frequently to dissolve the sugar, and reducing the heat as necessary to maintain a gentle simmer. (If the mixture begins to boil over, it’s much too hot—briefly remove it from the heat before returning it at a lower temperature). Cook until the mixture is reduced to 2 cups, about 15 to ⏱️ 20 minutes.
3
Remove the mixture from the heat and stir in the lemon juice and vanilla extract. Let the mixture rest for ⏱️ 20 minutes.
4
Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh strainer into a bowl and discard the zest.
5
Divide the mixture evenly between 8 individual ramekins or serving glasses.
6
Refrigerate, uncovered, until set, at least ⏱️ 3 hours. Once chilled, possets can be stored in a carton with a lid (or wrapped in plastic wrap) and refrigerated for up to 1 week or frozen for up to 3 months. Unwrap and let them rest at room temperature for ⏱️ 10 minutes before serving (if frozen, allow them to defrost for ⏱️ 30 minutes or longer in the refrigerator). Garnish as desired and serve.
