Creamy Orange Posset
Ingredients:
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 2/3 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons fresh orange zest
- 6 tablespoons fresh orange juice
Instructions:
1. Set out six small ramekins or dessert cups and place them on a tray for easy transport to the refrigerator.
2. Pour the heavy cream into a medium saucepan and add the sugar and orange zest.
3. Set the heat to medium and bring the mixture to a boil, stirring occasionally.
4. Once it reaches a boil, lower the heat and let it simmer gently for 8 to 12 minutes, stirring from time to time. The mixture should reduce down to about 2 cups total. You can measure this by pouring it into a 2-cup measuring cup to check.
5. Remove the pan from heat and wait about 2 minutes for the mixture to cool slightly, then stir in the orange juice.
6. Pour the mixture through a fine mesh strainer into a bowl to remove the zest pieces and create a smooth, silky texture.
7. Divide the strained mixture evenly among the six ramekins.
8. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 3 hours, or overnight, until the posset sets into a spoonable custard.
9. Just before serving, top each cup with a small pinch of fresh orange zest.
