This year, one dessert reigned supreme: posset. Creamy, tangy, and endlessly versatile, possets captured your hearts and taste buds in 2024. If you haven’t tried one yet, it’s time to see what all the fuss is about.
What Is Posset?
Posset is a classic British dessert made from just three simple ingredients: cream, sugar, and citrus. The magic happens when the citrus juice causes the cream to thicken naturally, creating a rich, pudding-like consistency without any need for gelatin or eggs. The result? A silky, indulgent treat that feels both luxurious and effortless.
Here are the three most popular posset recipes of 2024—each one as delightful as the last:
