Cooking Instructions

Hide images
step 1
To prepare Lemons (5) for serving, start by zesting the amount you need for this recipe, then slice lemons in half lengthwise.
step 2
Carefully juice lemon halves. (A reamer works well for this.) Use a spoon to scoop out any remaining flesh. Reserve any leftover juice and flesh for another use.
step 3
Into a saucepan over medium heat, add Heavy Cream (2 cups), Cane Sugar (1/2 cup), Sea Salt (1 pinch) and Lemon Zest (1 Tbsp). Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer for 5 to 6 minutes, stirring often to prevent burning. (Note: if the heat is too high, it can boil over very quickly, so keep a close eye on it.)
step 4
Strain mixture through a fine mesh sieve and discard zest. Whisk in Lemon Juice (1/3 cup) and Simply Organic® Pure Madagascar Vanilla Extract (1 tsp). Mixture should thicken slightly.
step 5
On a plate or platter, arrange lemon halves and pour some posset mixture into each one. If you have leftover mixture, pour it into small ramekins or bowls.
step 6
Refrigerate for at least 3 hours, until set, or up to overnight. Garnish with Fresh Raspberries (to taste) before serving.
