Ingredients

600ml double cream

200g caster sugar

50g Asda Extra Special Lemon Curd

150ml fresh lemon juice

150g pack raspberries, to serve

Method

1
Heat the cream, sugar and lemon curd in a stainless steel pan over a very low heat until it reaches boiling point, stirring occasionally. Simmer for 30 seconds to 1 minute – this is important. If it doesn’t reach boiling point the possets won’t set.
2
Remove from the heat and whisk in the lemon juice. Strain through a sieve into a heatproof jug and cool slightly. Pour into 6 glasses.
3
Leave until cold and then chill in the fridge for at least 3 hours or until gently set. The posset is ready when it wobbles when you gently shake the glass.
4
Serve topped with fresh raspberries or any of your favourite fresh fruit.
