Grapefruit Posset
Just three ingredients, and you have the most smooth, creamy, dreamy, decadent dessert ever!
Servings 6 half-cup servings
Ingredients
- 2 ¼ cups heavy cream
- ¾ cup sugar
- 9 tablespoons fresh-squeezed grapefruit juice
Garnish
- 2 teaspoons grapefruit zest
- 1 teaspoons sugar
- cool whip or homemade whipped cream, optional
Instructions
- Using a small saucepan, add the heavy cream and sugar over medium-high heat, stirring constantly. Bring to a gentle boil, and boil for 3 minutes, stirring constantly. If the boiling cream is bubbling too much, turn the heat down to a medium, but maintain a gentle boil. To prevent it from boiling over, lift the saucepan off the burner for a few seconds, return it to the burner and continue stirring.
- Remove from heat and whisk in the grapefruit juice. Pour the mixture into the serving dishes. Cover and chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or until set.
Garnish
- When ready to serve, zest one grapefruit (2 teaspoons). Mix with the sugar. Sprinkle over the posset and garnish with whipped cream (optional).
Notes
The serving size for this dessert is just 1/2 cup. It is a rich dessert yet delicate. You could make the serving sizes bigger, but you would get fewer servings.
For 1/2 cup servings, ramekins or custard cups work perfectly for this recipe.
