Ingredients

• 500 ml heavy cream
• 100 g granulated sugar
• 60 ml lemon juice
• 3 tbsp wheat germ
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 50 g fresh berries (optional, for garnish)
• 1 tsp powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium saucepan, combine the heavy cream, granulated sugar, and wheat germ.

Step 2

Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir gently to dissolve the sugar, bringing the mixture to a gentle simmer. Do not allow it to boil vigorously.

Step 3

Once the mixture begins to simmer, reduce the heat to low and let it cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent the wheat germ from settling or burning.

Step 4

Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the lemon juice and vanilla extract. Mix well; the acidity of the lemon juice will thicken the cream mixture as it cools.

Step 5

Let the mixture rest for about 10 minutes before straining it through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any solids. This step ensures a smooth and creamy texture for your posset.

Step 6

Pour the strained mixture into serving glasses or ramekins, leaving room at the top for optional garnishes.

Step 7

Transfer the glasses or ramekins to the refrigerator and allow the posset to chill for at least 3 hours or until set.

Step 8

Once the posset is firm, garnish with fresh berries and a light dusting of powdered sugar if desired.

Step 9

Serve chilled and enjoy this creamy, nutty treat!
