I wonder if one could use orange juice? Probably not acidic enough.

The literary history portion was the best part. Awesome video Chef John, you're the heavy cream to a Midsummer Night's dream!

[@harryhathaway1086]

Mr. Chef John my name is Howard and I've always had a list of people I would love to meet in person before I die and you are on the top of the list your good person dude. I appreciate your videos I'm not a cook but you have taught me a lot.

[@missmaryh6932]

People say the loveliest things. As I read the comments. I have to admit Chef John's followers are,quite simply the best. 🌳🍀☘🌿🍁 Chef John you are a lucky chef.

[@foodwishes]

Thanks! Yes, even the trolls are cool.

[@missmaryh6932]

Food Wishes Thanks a billion you just made my day. I've been committed to commenting and almost gave up,,on a reply from you back. Now I'm over the moon.X IIII like you very much x🍽🎵🎼🎶🎵♟🎈

[@caseytrader7478]

I love that you leave the mistakes in. It actually helps to see what can go wrong, and to learn from them. ☺☺

[@arthas640]

I hate how some shows on channels like the Food Chanel will have the chef sort of half ass a recipe, shove it into the oven, and pull out a flawlessly arranged meal. I tried following a Martha Stewart recipe (this was years ago when she was the queen of TV cooking) and followed it 95% close only I pulled out a pile of slop and she pulled out something that looked like it was from a food commercial or the cover of one of her magazines, so well decorated and arranged it looked like it looked more like one of those plastic plates of food they use as decoration in a restaurant than actual food.

[@Kany619]

OMG I literally laughed out loud when you said nowadays we “use kale smoothies to disguise the taste of poison” 🤣

[@christianhansen3292]

sounded like he said Cal i didnt hear the ay Sound well now i know, i dont like kale anyhoot.

[@redfirewolf4186]

That's funny as hell

[@johnfoy2630]

I have you know, no matter where I am or what I'm doing, at the end of every one of your episodes you say "and as always, enjoy" and I always say it out loud because I love it. Never stop saying "enjoy".

[@kimquinn7728]

What a sweet comment. Very kind.

[@ericnathan9843]

Once again you turned simplicity into a classic 😎

[@SkillsthatKills99]

Love ya Chef. Your videos have been one of very few constants in my life the past six years. Hope all is well, and wish you the absolute best. Missed the cayenne this video, but I forgive you. After all, you are the Farrah Fawcett, to your lemon gingersnap posset :)

I really enjoyed that long and drawn out, “and as always...enjoy” so cheerful and festive; like this posset!

[@janepowers6711]

I made it!! I was scare to death, but is was perfect & decadently delicious. Thank you Chef John❤️

[@GrumpyTweety]

Finally something with less than 10 ingredients and no oven that I can try making! (without the risk of burning a house down)

[@kimberlyrobinson3992]

I love what Chef John calls “a little touch of sugar”. Elsewhere in the world, it’s called a “lot” of sugar. In any case, I adore this recipe because it’s just the sort of thing I was looking for. My food wish came true and I didn’t even have to ask!

[@PLF...]

Take it from someone whove made these without end at restaurant, use a burner to pop the bubbles in the glass, and never cover for the first while in the fridge - the condensation will drip down and make the smooth surface spotty white. Wait about an hour before covering them. Also, double cream works wonders (always does :-D) - plus, that way you can get a bit more lemon juice in without it getting too runny. Can also recommend a berry compote on top. Cool thing about this is that you can by changing the bisquit make the dessert take on a whole new flavor, say a cantuccini or pistacchio snap. Match it with different liqueurs and you can make this dish fit with almost any menu. As a pastry chef, this is (by far) the best easiest dessert I've ever worked with.

[@SuZiKaT22]

Good ideas! So many possibilities. I'm totally down for making some double cream in the oven. My heart might stop, but death by butterfat is a good way to go, in my opinion. Lol

[@SuZiKaT22]

Quick question, can you clarify what you meant about using a burner to pop the air bubbles? Do you mean putting the actual glasses back over a burner, like hovering there?

[@phia7286]

I've been watching you for a few years now and I haven't made anything. But I enjoy watching and listening to the "It's Chef John" and the signature "That's right!"

[@Anthony-l5p5u]

just started watching and I cant wait until i see in what genius way he is going to add the cayenne

[@stvnsanders7]

no cayenne in this one! shocking!

[@Krysta1Rose]

@@stvnsanders7 Surely the cayenne is in the ginger snap cookies!

[@tiedyebadger]

i made this this morning. had them for dessert tonight. came out so well i made a batch of 20 for a party tomorrow night. thanks

[@kimquinn7728]

Bravo!!!! Chef John must love reading that.

[@ASMRmerman]

Delicious! I must try the ginger snap base! I find possets always need a little something else to offset the richness, I usually make a sharp raspberry and basil syrup. Definitely going to give this a go next time. Thanks Chef John!

[@SuZiKaT22]

Basil syrup! YUM

[@um22w22]

I love chef john’s concept of “a little touch of white sugar”.

[@luthienprice2949]

Made it yesterday and the texture was out of this world! It actually *is* beautiful, luxurious, thick and velvety. Also, please listen to Chef John and don't use more than 1/2 a cup for a portion! As the Master himself would say: "do as I say, not as I did".

[@rhettlover1]

Chef, my dear, you do realize this is key lime pie in a glass? Yes, homemade condensed milk with citrus, over a crust! But better, yummm! After your terrarium reference, I though placing a gummy worm on top of the crust before pouring over the custard would be a nice touch! I will be making this, thank you!

[@judyt5542]

Can’t wait to try this. I will use blueberries in place of pomegranates. Thank you Chef.

[@CantankerousDave]

Judy Kaspar That’s what the America’s Test Kitchen version of this recipe calls for. I can confirm that blueberries are tasty on it.

[@iamsmartacus]

Sounds much better to me than the pomegranates.

[@salyxxe]

“A little touch of sugar” *pours in small bag’s worth*

[@grahamefreestone5309]

Yep, that part got me too. Lol.

I had a restaurantwhen I was younger in Egypt and this was one of our most popular dishes !!!! Classic 😁

I read a book that mentioned this dessert and was curious what it was, but not curious enough to actually look it up. Thank you for being Google for me!

[@shafifarooq]

Tried and it was to die for... Salute u chef John👍

[@calgal8915]

I’m so glad I watched this video b/c I don’t do eggs or gelatin. I was waiting for the eggs to come in when he took it off the stove. It’s Xmas eve and I have ginger snaps, think I’ll be making this before New Year’s.

[@karmellekouture17]

Anything lemon 🍋 is my favorite!

[@veecee3669]

Ah, Chef John, this just might be my best-loved creation of your culinary delights. I so love heavy cream; it's my favorite food group!

[@ohmercy5924]

Oh my! Lemon and ginger- 2 of my favorite ingredients ever.

[@kr9256]

lovely recipe chef john, thank you!

Hi dear Chef John, love this new recipe but as it's Christmas time can you tell me what's figgy pudding and how to make it?

[@moss_yt]

Heavy cream can sense fear, just like printers and WiFi.

[@TheDefeatest]

dont forget a sunny side egg about to be flipped...

[@amanda4730]

and yeast

[@jessicabasciano4200]

And pie crust.

[@crhettbuttler1]

Printers do not sense fear, they are the past bosses' angry souls in disguise.

Avocado too

[@fourthgirl]

Thank you Chef! Two of my favorite flavor combos. I have a bunch of punch glasses I think will work for this.

[@feyfantome]

I love key lime pie: this would be a marvelous way to make a simple substitute for my favorite treat, and yet be impressive for guests!

[@vibhaverma7910]

Thank you you truely fulfilled my wish and i will definitely try it.

[@Mlynoph]

I made your pumpkin pie for thanksgiving chef John. It was great. Thank you.

[@irenepiher9524]

My grandma used to make a beautiful lemon mousse I think you'd like. Same quantities of condensed milk, evaporated milk and lemon juice. Just blend and serve cold. Creamy and delicious 😀

[@penguinistas]

Looks great chef John, thank you.

Surprised how well it formed without starch or gelatin. Looks good. I thought for sure the recipe had gelatin in it like a panna cotta.

[@poutygorilla2698]

From his recipe 1 1/4 cup sugar to 3 C cream & 3 lemons. Easy

[@johnle9828]

I think you can prevent the crumbs from floating up by going bartender mode. Use a spoon to slow down the drop of the cream. I could be totally wrong too... Just put the glasses in the fridge.

[@giladzxc17]

Make lemon meringue pie next!

[@VIDYMAE]

This will be done this weekend. I must go to the grocery... I will dream of this until I can taste for myself.

Very nice and simple to make it.

[@recoil53]

The only reason I knew this was watching Cook's Country. For whatever reason this seems easier than I remember, to the point of being worth doing this winter.

[@eatahfood]

Think I would boil some ginger with the heavy cream mixture to infuse more ginger flavor

[@SuZiKaT22]

I mean yeah, you COULD, and that might be good, and add a little heat! But then you would have flavor layering instead of the contrast of the sweetened citrus tang with the spice of the gingersnaps. I think the beauty of this dessert is in the contrasting tastes and textures, which is much more elegant than something like chocolate pudding- that is basically one texture and one dimension/ note.

[@PrissyHippie]

I need to do a dessert for 12. Will it turn out as well if I triple the recipe or will it turn out better if done in batches as you did in the video? Love your videos!!!

[@Ddouglas0302]

This made a great cheesecake ..love this!

[@kj7124]

Made it. Delicious. Word of caution. Put in just enough butter to wet the crumbs your using. Don't just dump the melted butter into the crumbs like I did. It was to much for the amount of crumbs I had crushed up. Chef John just spoons some in - good call

[@LydiaApril]

Fancy one Chef John 👍

this would be lovely for christmas made with clementines

[@indigenouspotliquor3546]

In Jamaica they use Ginger snaps in their key lime pie instead of graham crackers

"to that we add a little touch of sugar" * dumps bag of sugar in pan *

[@jameswalsh2871]

I recently discovered posset. I think my favorite is actually grapefruit! I am thinking of trying vanilla and perhaps cinnamon. Is there a chocolate version?

[@billgrandone3552]

John, could that work as well as a pie? Also what could you recommend to use for lactose intolerant people who would like to make this?

[@ib3scope]

Coconut cream or lactose-free half-and-half

[@brenthooton3412]

2:07 "and to that we'll add a little touch of white sugar" **proceeds to empty half a bag of sugar into the pot** This is why I love Chef John.

You cooked the crap out of that lemon gingersnap!

[@evahamrick3282]

A friend of mine used wine glasses for deserts for her children, even jello. She'd tip the glasses and layer them.

[@SuZiKaT22]

Are you old enough to remember a supermarket product called Jello 1-2-3? It was self-layering! We loved that stuff. It was like a regular jello layer, with a creamy middle layer, and a frothy top layer. It was amazing.

[@oil_moon]

Hi chef! When I made this, I got some brown bits forming in the pan which I think were nuggets of carmelised sugar. Not the end of the world when you factor in the straining process, but noticed it didn't happen to you at all. Was my temperature too high?

[@نرجسمحمد-ن2و]

You should put some of your sayings on T shirts. "Heavy cream can sense fear" Thats too funny.

[@therocketjones]

All right, I'm thinking orange juice and zest, a shortbread crust, and topped with whipped cream and dark chocolate chips.

[@ib3scope]

Yummy! You'll have to adjust the sugar profile slightly, given that oranges are inherently sweeter than lemons. You might want to attempt that using a blood-orange.
