Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 cup fresh raspberries, plus extra for serving
- 1 cup heavy cream or coconut cream for a vegan option
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup champagne or sparkling wine
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Optional
- Honey for drizzling (optional, for the honey posset recipe version)
Instructions
- Prepare the Raspberries: In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the fresh raspberries, sugar, and lemon juice. Cook gently for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the raspberries break down and form a sauce. Remove from heat and allow the mixture to cool slightly.
- Make the Posset Base: In a separate saucepan, heat the heavy cream or coconut cream over medium heat until it just begins to simmer. Stir in the champagne and continue heating for about one minute. Remove the saucepan from heat to prevent boiling over.
- Combine Raspberry Sauce with Cream: Strain the raspberry sauce using a fine mesh sieve into the warm cream and champagne mixture. Press down on the solids to extract maximum liquid and discard the seeds. Stir thoroughly to blend all flavors evenly.
- Chill Until Set: Pour the combined mixture into individual serving glasses or ramekins. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until the posset has fully set and developed a creamy, silky texture.
- Serve: Before serving, top each posset with fresh raspberries. Drizzle with honey if using, and enjoy this elegant dessert alongside a glass of champagne for a truly indulgent experience.
Notes
- You can substitute heavy cream with coconut cream to make this recipe vegan.
- Be careful not to boil the cream and champagne mixture, as this can affect the delicate flavor and texture.
- Straining the raspberry sauce removes seeds for a smooth texture.
- Chilling time is crucial for the posset to set properly; do not rush this step.
- For a less sweet option, reduce the sugar slightly or omit the honey drizzle.
