Cooking Steps

1
  • Zest one lemon.
  • Halve the lemons lengthways and scoop out the flesh. 
  • Place a sieve above a bowl. Finely chop the flesh, and transfer to the sieve, making sure the bowl is underneath. Press down with the back of a spoon to release the lemon juice. 
  • Set the lemon juice and zest aside. 
2
  • Heat the heavy cream and sugar in a saucepan on middle-high heat. 
  • Stir for 5 - 6 minutes, until the sugar has melted and the cream bubbles. 
  • Turn the heat to low and simmer for 10 - 12 minutes. 
  • Remove the saucepan from the stove and add the lemon juice and zest. Mix well. 
3
  • Transfer the mixture to the lemons. 
  • Let it cool down to room temperature, then cover and chill for at least 3 hours in the refrigerator (see Tip). 
  • Garnish the lemon possets with the mint leaves. 

Tip: you can make the lemon possets for up to 24 hours beforehand. Just let them chill in the refrigerator.
