Description
A refreshing lime posset made with Shamrock Farms Heavy Whipping Cream, perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 and 1/2 cups Shamrock Farms Heavy Whipping Cream
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- Pinch of salt
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 tsp lime zest
- 3 tbsp (1 1/2 oz) lime juice (freshly squeezed)
- 6 whole limes
Instructions
- To prepare your limes for serving, start by zesting the amount you need for this recipe, then slice each lime in half. Juice the limes.
- Use a spoon to scoop out any remaining flesh. We used 6 limes for serving and had some leftover juice.
- Add the heavy whipping cream, sugar, salt, vanilla, and lime zest to a small saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a simmer, stirring often, then reduce to low and gently simmer for 5-6 minutes. (Keep a close eye on the pot as it can boil over quickly!)
- Strain the hot cream through a sieve to remove the zest, then whisk in the lime juice right away. It should thicken slightly.
- Pour the mixture into the lime halves (or small ramekins) and carefully transfer to the fridge for about 4 hours to set.
- Optional: add 1/2 cup of Shamrock Farms Heavy Whipping Cream to a chilled bowl with 1 tbsp powdered sugar and whip until peaks form.
- Top each posset with whipped cream, some crushed graham crackers, and a sprinkle of lime zest. Enjoy!
Notes
- This is a delightful dessert that can be prepared in advance.
- Make sure to use fresh limes for the best flavor.
