Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Slice lemons in half widthwise and carefully scoop out the pulp with a spoon or paring knife, keeping the rinds intact.

  2. Juice the flesh and strain—it can be used as part of the recipe’s lemon juice. Set the emptied halves upright on a tray or dish so they’re steady before pouring in the posset mixture. 

  3. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine heavy cream, McEvoy Ranch Organic Lemon Olive Oil, lemon zest, and sugar. Stir until the sugar dissolves, then bring to a gentle simmer. Remove from heat. Stir in the lemon juice and let cool for 10 minutes.

  4. Divide the mixture between ramekins or prepared lemon halves and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until softly set.

  5. Garnish with mint or berries for a soft finish.
