Adam Liaw’s spiced lemon posset with summer berries
Posset is a dessert of cream set with citrus juice. The process is a bit like making a sweet ricotta, but here I’ve added fragrant spices as well.
Ingredients
600ml thickened cream
½ tsp turmeric powder
¼ tsp ground cardamom
70g caster sugar
10 strips lemon peel, yellow part only (about 2 lemons)
30g icing sugar mixture
80ml lemon juice
½ tsp vanilla bean paste
mixed summer berries, to serve
Method
Combine the cream, turmeric, cardamom, caster sugar and lemon peel in a small saucepan and whisk to combine. Place the pan over a low-medium heat and slowly bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low and make sure the mixture doesn’t boil over. Simmer very low for about 10 minutes. Remove the lemon peel (I use chopsticks for this) and whisk in the icing sugar mixture, lemon juice and vanilla bean paste. Stand for 10 minutes, then divide the posset between 6 glasses and chill for 4 hours. Serve with the berries.
