Lemon Brûlée Posset

A creamy and tangy lemon dessert that is easy to make and impressively delicious, topped with a crisp brûlée sugar crust.

  • Total Time: 180 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest
  • Superfine sugar for brûlée topping

Instructions

  1. In a pot, simmer heavy cream with sugar over medium-low heat, stirring to prevent scorching.
  2. Once sugar melts, remove from heat and stir in lemon juice and zest until slightly thickened.
  3. Pour the mixture into glasses or ramekins and chill for at least three hours.
  4. When ready to serve, sprinkle a thin layer of superfine sugar on top.
  5. Use a kitchen torch to caramelize the sugar until a glassy shell forms or place under a broiler for a few minutes.

Notes

Use Meyer lemons for a tart flavor, and store in the fridge for up to three days without the brûlée topping.
