Ingredients
- 2.5 cups whipping cream
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1 tbsp. lemon zest
- 6 tbsps. lemon juice
- 6-8 carved out lemon halves
- Biscoff cookies
- Marmalade
Recipe
- Cut the lemons in half and use a spoon to scoop out the pulp and juice.
- Place the pulp in a blender or food processor and pulse a handful of times. Use a strainer to separate the juice.
- Place the cream in a large saucepan with the sugar and heat gently while stirring until the sugar melts.
- Let it boil for about a minute, then turn off the flame.
- Stir in the lemon zest and juice, ensuring they are thoroughly incorporated into the mixture.
- If you'd like, you can strain the mixture to remove the lemon peel. Pour the creamy concoction into empty lemon shells.
- Allow the cream to cool down and set in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or until it reaches a creamy, velvety consistency.
- Just before serving, top each lemon with crumbled Biscoff cookies for a delightful crunch
- For an added citrus burst, crown your posset with a dollop of Marmalade Grove's Meyer Lemon Marmalade.
