Posset is a traditional English version of a pannacotta - here it's given a zesty twist by David Colcombe of Opus for Taste of Birmingham.

Serve with David's poppyseed shortbread

Serves 6

Ingredients

  • 1 pint double cream
  • 1 lemon
  • 2 limes
  • 1 kaffier lime leaf
  • 140g sugar
  • 1 leaf gelatine

Method: How to make posset

1. Place zest, lime leaf, sugar and cream in saucepan and bring to the boil. Soften gelatine in ice cold water for 5 minutes.

2. Add drained gelatine leaf to boiled cream mixture and strain. Whilst hot, pour into glasses and place in the fridge for minimum 2 hours.

Chef's tip:

Make a raspberry coulis by puréeing the berries in a food processor, adding sugar to the desired sweetness

3. Finish with raspberry coulis and serve with shortbread or biscotti.
