About Lemon posset

Lemon Posset is a classic British dessert known for its creamy texture and tangy flavor. Traditionally made with just three ingredients—heavy cream, sugar, and fresh lemon juice—it’s a simple yet elegant treat that dates back to medieval England. The acidity of the lemon juice naturally thickens the cream, creating a luscious, pudding-like consistency. While rich and indulgent, Lemon Posset is high in fat and sugar, making it a calorie-dense option best enjoyed in moderation. It offers a small amount of calcium from the cream, but it is not considered a significant source of nutrients. The bright citrus flavor pairs well with fresh berries, which can be a healthier addition to balance its richness. Though not particularly noted for its nutritional benefits, Lemon Posset remains a beloved dessert for special occasions.
