Servings: 6 Small Servings
Calories: 364kcal
- 2 cups Heavy Cream
- ⅔ cup Granulated Sugar
- 2 tablespoons Orange Zest from one orange
- 6 tablespoons Orange Juice
Grab a 2-cup measuring cup and 6 small ramekins or dessert cups in preparation for the recipe and set aside.
In a medium saucepan, combine the cream, sugar, and orange zest. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then reduce to a simmer. Stir frequently and let it simmer for about 8–12 minutes until the mixture reduces to exactly 2 cups. As the liquid starts to reduce, you can use the 2 cup measuring cup to check whether you have reduced the mixture enough!
2 cups Heavy Cream , ⅔ cup Granulated Sugar, 2 tablespoons Orange Zest
Once reduced, pour the mixture into the measuring cup and stir in the orange juice.
6 tablespoons Orange Juice
Strain the mixture into a bowl for a smooth texture, then divide evenly among the ramekins. Chill in the fridge for at least 3 hours to set or overnight.
Top with some orange zest and enjoy!
How should I store orange posset?
Make sure to let your orange posset chill in the fridge, uncovered, for a minimum of 3-4 hours to give it time to set up properly. After that, cover the cups with plastic wrap to protect from fridge odors and the dreaded pudding “skin” and consume within 2 days.
