Instructions
Zest the lime
- Peel the skin off the limes reserving about ½ teaspoon of grated zest for serving.
Combine the ingredients
- In a small saucepan combine 1 and ⅔ cup of coconut cream (refrigerate the remaining ⅓ cup of cream), strips of zest and 7 tablespoon of sugar. Bring to a gentle simmer. Cook on a medium low heat stirring occasionally until sugar dissolves and lime infuses the coconut cream, about 5 minutes.
Distribute Posset among dessert glasses
- Remove Posset from the heat, stir in ⅓ c lime juice and let it cool to a room temperature. Strain and divide Posset among 4 serving glasses. Chill Posset in a refrigerator until it thickens, about 4 hours or overnight.
Serve
- Using a hand whisk, beat the remaining ⅓ c of chilled coconut cream with 1 tablespoon of sugar and 1 teaspoon of lime juice until soft peaks. Top each Posset with a sliced strawberry and a few dollops of whipped cream. Sprinkle with grated lime zest.
Notes
- Coconut cream. Chill cans of coconut milk overnight and scoop out just the thick cream part.
- You can use a different type of milk, such as almond milk or soy milk. However, the texture and taste of the dessert may vary slightly depending on the type of milk used. You will also need to thicken Posset with arrowroot powder since plant-based milk other than coconut has a lower fat content.
- Storage. First, allow it to cool completely before transferring it to an airtight container. Place the container in the refrigerator and store it for up to 3 days.
- When ready to eat the leftovers, simply remove the container from the fridge and enjoy it cold. If you prefer a warmer posset, you can gently reheat it on the stovetop or in the microwave until it reaches your desired temperature.
- Freezing. Unfortunately, this posset cannot be frozen. The texture of the posset may change significantly upon freezing and thawing, resulting in a grainy or curdled consistency.
- It is best to consume the posset within a few days of making it for the best taste and texture.
- The recipe is adapted from the Bon Appetit 2017 issue.
