“Lemon Posset, or 'Lemon Posey' as I like to call it, is a simple recipe and is much more versatile than you might think. Contrary to its name, you can use just about any citrus you have on hand to create this sweet yet tangy treat. When I think of Lemon Posey, I think of English strawberry season. There are few things as delicious as a big bowl of fresh strawberries topped with a dollop of creamy Lemon Posey! The best part of it all? This recipe can be made with just a handful of ingredients that you can get locally at the grocery store or through online delivery.”
