LEMON GINGERSNAP POSSET

In Shakespeare's 'Hamlet,' posset was the sweet spiced drink used to poison someone. Since then it has evolved into a dessert that seems too good to be true. Not only does it feature a rich, thick, luxurious texture and intense, clean citrus taste, but it's also free of eggs, starch, and gelatin. The lemon flavor is even more intense than that in lemon curd, despite using less juice. Garnish with whipped cream and pomegranate, or any seasonal fruit.

Steps:

  • Place gingersnap crumbs in a bowl and pour in melted butter. Mix until crumbs are well moistened. Transfer a few tablespoons of the crumbs into 4 small glasses; tamp down to compress into a crust. Chill crusts until firm.
  • Grate lemons to get 1 heaping tablespoon of zest. Squeeze 1/4 cup juice into a bowl.
  • Pour heavy cream into a large heavy-bottomed saucepan. Add sugar and set heat to medium-high. Mix and bring to a boil. Immediately reduce heat to medium; adjust as needed to maintain a gentle bubble. Cook, stirring occasionally, for exactly 9 minutes. Watch to make sure cream does not boil over. Remove from heat and stir once more.
  • Add lemon zest and juice to the cream and whisk until well combined; mixture will thicken slightly. Let rest for 10 minutes.
  • Set a sieve over a glass measuring cup, or any container suitable for pouring. Strain lemon-cream mixture through the sieve, ending up with about 2 cups. Pour mixture carefully over the chilled crusts. Place glasses on a tray and cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate until set, 4 hours to overnight.

  • In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the heavy cream, sugar, lemon zest and salt. Bring to a simmer, stirring frequently to dissolve the sugar. Simmer vigorously (meaning somewhere between a gentle simmer and boiling, which was a bit below medium-low on my stovetop), stirring regularly, until the mixture thickens slightly and reduces to 2 cups (test by pouring into a measuring cup to be sure), about 8-10 minutes.
  • Remove the pot from the heat and stir in the lemon juice. Let the mixture sit until it has cooled slightly and a skin forms on top, about 20 minutes. Stir mixture. To remove the zest in the mixture (optional), strain through fine-mesh strainer into a measuring cup with a spout. Discard zest. Pour mixture evenly into six small ramekins or small custard bowls.
  • Refrigerate, uncovered, until set, at least 3 hours. *For longer refrigeration, cover the top with plastic wrap after the 3 hours, so they don't pick up fridge odours. Can be made and refrigerated for up to 2 days before serving, but top with berries just before serving.
  • To serve, top each lemon posset with some berries. To dress it up, add a fresh mint leaf and a dusting of icing/confectioners' sugar.
