The Method

1
In a saucepan, combine the heavy cream, sugar, and rosemary sprigs.
2
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally to dissolve the sugar. Let it simmer for about 3 minutes, infusing the cream with the rosemary flavor.
3
Remove the saucepan from the heat and discard the rosemary sprigs. Stir in the lemon zest and lemon juice. The mixture will thicken slightly.
4
Pour the posset mixture evenly into four ramekins.
5
Let the possets cool slightly at room temperature, then cover them with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, to set completely.
6
Before serving, top each posset with a generous amount of mixed berries and a sprig of fresh mint (optional).
7
Serve chilled.

Chef's Tips

Don't boil the cream mixture too vigorously, as it can curdle.

For a smoother posset, strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve before pouring it into the ramekins.

The possets can be made up to 2 days in advance and stored in the refrigerator.

Pair with savory dill yogurt fritters for a delightful contrast of flavors and textures.
