Orange posset is a creamy and citrusy dessert that is both elegant and easy to make. Hereβs a simple recipe for orange posset:
Ingredients:
2 cups heavy cream
1/2 cup granulated sugar
Zest of 2 oranges
1/2 cup freshly squeezed orange juice (about 2-3 oranges)
Fresh berries, for garnish (optional)
Mint leaves, for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
In a medium saucepan, combine the heavy cream, sugar, and orange zest. Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir until the sugar has dissolved and the mixture is just beginning to simmer. Do not boil.
Once the mixture is simmering, reduce the heat to low and let it cook gently for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. This helps infuse the cream with the orange flavor.
After 5 minutes, remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the freshly squeezed orange juice. Mix well to combine.
Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a heatproof bowl or individual serving glasses to remove the orange zest and any lumps.
Divide the mixture evenly among serving glasses or ramekins. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until set and chilled.
Once chilled and set, garnish the possets with fresh berries and mint leaves, if desired.
Serve and enjoy your delicious orange posset!
This dessert is perfect for serving at dinner parties or special occasions, as it can be made ahead of time and chilled until ready to serve. Its creamy texture and bright citrus flavor are sure to impress your guests!
