Lemon Posset / The Queen's Favourite Dessert

[@beztoop342]

Lemon posset is one of my fab desserts and so quick and simple to make too

[@GuillermoandSarah]

So quick and easy and also fairly cheap to make! We were glad to discover it.

[@boneybone8123]

If you're not royalty, just put the pot in the fridge after it cools down. 1 hour later, take it out, get yourself a big wooden spoon and plant yourself in front of your TV, dig in. Wooden spoon is to prevent scratching noises at night so other dwellers in the house won't wake up and ruin your night.

[@GuillermoandSarah]

@boneybone8123, love it. Is it be possible you've done this before? Love the idea of the wooden spoon. I will use that so I can get up and eat at night without my daughters hearing! Sarah

[@emilysnyder4857]

I made this and it was wonderful! This came on my feed like my device knew what was in my refrigerator. I even have a pot of mint outside. It brightened my August day and I had to take some to my neighbor, after her 8 hour shift. I love that it's only 3 ingredients. My head gets lost when a recipe has too many steps and ingredients. It's so smooth, creamy and tangy. I did contemplate less sugar because I try to avoid it. Doing that wouldn't work because it's perfect.

[@GuillermoandSarah]

@emilysnyder4857, thank you so much for your wonderful kind comment! This is one of my all time favourite comments. I'm so happy to read that our video brightened your August day. How perfect that you had everything you needed without going to buy anything. Nice of you to share some with your neighbour too! It really is a perfect dessert. Yes, it has a lot of sugar, but it's not a dessert to have often, but as a rare treat. 🙂 Sarah

[@MikeBenko]

Funny thing. This can be easily turned into a cold lemon pie. Just make a base of buttered roasted graham cracker base, pour this on top and chill. Makes a perfect summer lemon pie. Can also be made with limes (I prefer it).

[@GuillermoandSarah]

@MikeBenko, I love your suggestion!! Sounds sooooo good! Do you have a recipe for how to make the base? Limes would be even better, also with you there! Sarah

[@MikeBenko]

@@GuillermoandSarah I've learned it from a Colombian girlfriend, the original version of the desert is called "Carlota de Limon" but they also make a simplified version called "Postre de Limón Simple" as in Simple Lemon Desert. My ex just used to prepare the very same posset you demonstrated. Make a base of finely crumbled Graham crackers, toasted in butter with honey and using that to create a base in, allowing it to cool then she would pour the posset over the base, and let it chill for a few hours. I still make it as it's a very easy and impressive recipe.

[@GuillermoandSarah]

@@MikeBenko it's so great to learn about a Colombian dessert. We don't know a lot about Colombian food, but we have a fun video on Colombian arepas with an Encanto theme... We will definitely be trying this pie as it sounds amazing and we currently have an excess of limes!

[@MithrilMagic]

This reminds me of a sort of custardish recipe my Nonna used to make but she didn’t use the peels. And no crust. It was just baked in a casserole dish and we would eat it with fresh whipped cream. Sometimes she added Limoncello. And in the winter she made one with clementines with Sambuca.

[@GuillermoandSarah]

[@tracys.6033]

I will try this as it looks yummy! I have a lemon tree that currently has at least 10 lemons ripe and more not ripe yet. Actually think I will be making several lemon desserts! I enjoyed the history while you cooked. I also wanted to tell you after reading comments that not all Americans are rude. I'm sorry you encountered them and bravo to all of your polite comments. People, this lady is sharing her cooking experience with us. Not all countrys make, name dishes or even eat the same things using the same recipes. If that were the case the world would be boring in my opinion. If you think the way she makes this dish wrong then don't try it. Find another one you think is right. I don't understand why you can't keep your negative attitudes and comments to yourselves. And yes, I should have probably kept all of the above to myself but some days the human race just blows my mind! Was I the only one raised with " if you don't have something nice to say, then say nothing?" Its not pudding, its not cheesecake, its not suppose to be thick, its Posset!

[@GuillermoandSarah]

@tracys.6033, that's very neat that you have a lemon tree. Where do you live? In Florida? A lemon tree is very exotic for me, but not for Guillermo. His parents used to have them, in Mexico. I appreciate your positivity. We do get some negative comments, especially when a video gets many, many views like this one has. We get even more on the shorts. People just need to vent somewhere sometimes I guess. We're glad to have you in our community, as an ally! Follow us on Facebook if you have an account!

[@tracys.6033]

@@GuillermoandSarah Thank you for your kind words. Sometimes people just blow me away and I find it hard to keep my comments to myself. I was touched by the fact that you replied very politely to each insult. That's the way I was raised and you just don't come across many people like that anymore. Funny you mentioned Florida. I was born in Florida but now live in Virginia. I'll tell you my lemon tree story. About 3 years ago while visiting coastal North Carolina (Beaufort NC- my happy place!) I found a Meyer Lemon tree at a nursery. Purchased and drove it 5 hours home. Planted in container. Left in container and I bring inside in winter as I wasn't sure if it would survive outside winter. Research was conflicting. Back outside in spring. No lemons first 2 years. This year however my little 4 foot tree has so far given me 13 lemons and is still full of unripe fruit. I have already brought inside for the winter. This became such a challenge for me to do because everyone told me " I can't believe you bought that. No way will you get it to produce fruit." Obviously, I couldn't be happier! I will subscribe to this channel as I don't do Facebook. Thank you again for your kind words.

[@GuillermoandSarah]

@@tracys.6033, it's really great to hear that you were touched by our replies. It's challenging with a KZbin channel because you are sort of on your own, putting content out into the wilderness, and you don't necessarily have much of a connection with how people are receiving it. Sometimes we see friends or acquaintances at a party (a rare thing for us these days!) and they tell us they watch all our videos, or they made a recipe, and it's amazing to hear, because we really don't know who is watching us! People can be very rude. Honestly I notice it more as a pedestrian walking around our neighbourhood than I do here with the comments. At least it aggravates me more. People don't feel compelled to stop at pedestrian crosswalks anymore, even though it's the law to do so, and even if you have a kid with you!! We have a good friend here in Montreal who's mom lives in Virginia. Do you have some lights to shine on your tree? That might help it. There are special ones you can buy to shine on your plants through the winter that mimic daylight. Thanks for subscribing to our channel!

@constantina63, we are in Canada and we use 35% whipping cream. I am fairly sure you have the same thing in the US.

[@thedude4795]

Boling the cream seems way too harsh to denature it, I think keeping it at 170 F for 5-10 minutes should be enough

I’ve never had a posset. Is it similar to a pudding?

[@MackerelCat]

In the sense of the custard pudding? Sorry British people use “pudding” in more contexts so I’m not sure. Yes I suppose it’s similar to the custard pudding but its much softer and doesn’t set the same since it has no eggs. It doesn’t wobble 😂

@Ab Magno, did you make it and it curdled? It shouldn't curdle, but it could depend on what cream you're using. Which country are you in and what kind of cream are you using?

I followed ur recipe and they didn’t set. I don’t know what I’m doing wrong

[@GuillermoandSarah]

@anak6940, that is very strange. I wonder if it's something with the cream. What kind of cream did you use?

[@nada2312]

🙏💗💗💗💕💙

[@dejlanasusak9889]

does it need to be double cream and can it be basic milk?

[@GuillermoandSarah]

It should be at least 35 per cent cream. No milk.

[@GuillermoandSarah]

35 per cent fat.

This would be easy to convert into a keto recipe.

[@GuillermoandSarah]

@CCoburn, really? Interesting! How would one do that?

[@CCoburn3]

@@GuillermoandSarah Replace the sugar with a low carb or no carb sweetener.

[@fedethefico]

Which queen? Belgium, Spain, Sweden, ... ?

[@GuillermoandSarah]

@fedethefico, good question! The Queen of England, who passed away last September. This video was made around the time of her Platinum Jubilee, while she was still alive. 🙂

[@arthurdeleniq]

i read the title wrong

@arthurdeleniq, oops! What did you think it said?

[@MaximilianvonPinneberg]

Posset is a pre dessert. It is not a dessert in itself.

[@GuillermoandSarah]

Wow, I guess that could be the case for those who really love their sweets, but that's all the dessert I need or would like! Sarah

[@iulian844]

pre dessert LMAO

[@inluminatiomea9889]

Ouch, all the sugar.

[@GuillermoandSarah]

@inluminatiomea9889 , it's true, it has a lot of sugar. But it's so delicious. It's for a very rare treat!

[@ME2too2022]

🤣😂😅

[@speedstick-q3o]

queen of what ???

[@GuillermoandSarah]

@user-el3ub1ym4r, (Former) Queen of England! This was her wedding dessert. When we made the video, she was still alive.

[@mehjabeenjable3632]

Hi is this a dessert, heres nothing here , no crust , no egg , no jelly, not even creamcheese , desserts do need one or all of these , so is this a dessert

[@GuillermoandSarah]

@mehjabeenjable3632, really? So a pudding isn't a dessert either?

[@DevaPoints]

Boiling it so long is very unhealthy! Why don't you do it as raw which would be the healthiest!

[@GuillermoandSarah]

Hmmm, @DevaPoints, this isn't meant to be a healthy recipe! It's for a rare treat. Boiling is necessary for the recipe. If you want something more healthy, check out our lemon bars / lemon squares!

[@LisaG442]

This is similar to how paneer is made, the British stole it from the Indians!

[@manithangavalu7885]

Well not only they stole the recipe for Paneer, they stole the world's precious Diamond. The one and only Kohinoor! Not only they're thieves they're colonizers and slave drivers .Every country they colonized, they robbed, looted and drove the natives stateless. Like the indigenous natives of Australia.

[@GuillermoandSarah]

@LisaG442, interesting point! That may or may not be true, but it would be interesting to research. There are definitely similarities in different cuisines without there having been a theft.

[@cosh5]

Posset is much older than English presence in India.

[@dhanumathi]

Really man !! Go and read up the history of panneer. FYI the famous samosa of NI didn't originate from there. There are lots of similarities between various cuisines. The world is big. South Indian who heard of panneer only in the '90s in Chennai. #dhanumathi 2023. Aug 20, 15.48 hrs

Listen it would have been great if you would have written “The Women’s Wedding Desert” Because default we are talking about a women’s wedding in some part of the world & she happens to be queen to some of the people well rest don’t care

[@GuillermoandSarah]

@use-hustlelucre, it is actually quite astonishing how many millions of people in the world do care. We never would have had the success with this video (over 100,000 views) without mentioning the Queen. We made it around the time of her Platinum Jubilee celebration last year and this year close to the time of her death it has exploded. I can't see "Women's Wedding Dessert" flying at all. It was also eaten by Prince Philip btw.

[@use-hustlelucre]

@@GuillermoandSarah Great achievement for you I will say, however ideally it wasn’t possible until you practiced it enough & then came up with ideal taste of this dessert, it’s your generosity that you want to offer your efforts to the queen, however to me it’s a desert made by someone who gave it all in it & decided to offer its intense work to offer a women with some position at her wedding. In fact I would rather celebrate you for making this with perfection rather your queen who just got it bcz bcz of your gratitude

[@GuillermoandSarah]

@@use-hustlelucre thank you, that is very nice of you!

[@Charlieuae]

For wedding? 😂 if I do that to one of customers they throw it in my face

[@GuillermoandSarah]

@Charlieuae, really? Just because it's easy to make doesn't mean it's not delicious. Are your customers super snobby? Because it sounds like it.

@claudio09crg, 2/3 cup = 158 g. Esta bien en gramos?
