Notes
- Honey Power: I love the subtle floral notes of honey in this recipe, but feel free to use sugar if you prefer.
- Passion for Variety: Play around with other citrus juices like lime or grapefruit!
- Curdle control: Let the cream and honey cool slightly before adding the lemon juice. This helps prevent the cream from curdling.
- Chill factor: The longer your posset chills, the thicker it will become. Aim for at least 4 hours, ideally overnight, for the perfect texture.
- Get fancy: Drizzle your posset with a touch of chocolate sauce or sprinkle with chopped nuts for an extra treat.
- Passion fruit juice options: For the freshest flavor, use juice from 10-15 ripe passion fruits. If you prefer, you can also use store-bought passion fruit juice. Look for brands with 100% juice and no added sugars, like Ceres 100% Passion Fruit Juice, Welch's Juice Drink Passion Fruit, or Sunberry Farms Passion Fruit Nectar.
- Enjoy your delicious and refreshing Passion Fruit Posset!
