What is lemon posset made of?
A posset was once a popular drink in Britain, it involved curdling hot milk with wines or ales and flavouring with spices. Over time lemon posset has evolved and is traditionally made from dairy cream, lemon juice, and caster sugar. This simple vegan recipe replaces the dairy cream with soya cream, giving it that traditional creamy taste that is too good to resist.
How long can you keep lemon posset?
Once kept in the fridge these lemon possets can keep for 2-3 days. To ensure you get the best taste from your posset, we recommend eating within 1-2 days.
What’s the difference between lemon posset and panna cotta?
While both a lemon posset and panna cotta share a creamy texture, there are specific differences between the two desserts. Posset relies on a citrus acid to set its creamy body, while a panna cotta gets its iconic wobbly shape from gelatin. Despite their difference, both are equally delicious.
