How to Make Strawberry Lemon Posset
  1. In a saucepan over medium heat, combine heavy cream and granulated sugar, stirring gently until the sugar dissolves.
  2. Bring the mixture to a simmer, watching closely to prevent boiling.
  3. Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in freshly squeezed lemon juice.
  4. Allow it to cool for about 5 minutes.
  5. Pour the cream mixture into serving glasses or ramekins and refrigerate for at least 2-3 hours to set.
  6. While the posset is chilling, wash, hull, and slice your fresh strawberries.
  7. In a bowl, mix them with sugar and let them macerate for about 10 minutes.
  8. Once the posset is set, layer the macerated strawberries on top of each glass.
  9. Drizzle any remaining strawberry juices over the top to enhance the flavor.
  10. Add a sprig of mint and a sprinkle of lemon zest for an elegant finish before serving.
