Lemon Posset

Directions

1. 1
   In a heavy-bottomed 2 or 3-quart saucepan, boil the cream and sugar together for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally to make sure sugar dissolves. Remove from heat and stir in fresh lemon juice.
2. 2
   Use a sieve to strain the mixture into a glass measuring cup with a pour spout and allow to cool for a few minutes. Carefully pour mixture into 4-ounce dessert dishes; chill for at least 2 hours. Garnish just before serving. (Garnish options include fresh berries, lemon zest, whipped cream, ginger snaps, etc.)
