Lemon posset is an old-fashioned English dessert that seems to be making a comeback on modern restaurant menus. It’s unbelievably simple to make with just 3 ingredients, and the addition of rosemary and green pepper in this blend imparts a really subtle herbal fragrance. Serve with shortbread biscuits for a deliciously decadent dessert.
