Easy, refreshing lemon dessert with only 4 ingredients.

Ingredients
- 4 lemons
- 250 ml heavy cream
- 90 grams cane sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla paste
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest finely chopped
Garnish
- 24 blueberries

Instructions
Prepare the lemons
- Zest one lemon and chop the zest finely.
- Mix 1 teaspoon of the sugar with the zest in a small bowl. Use a spoon to mix the two, releasing the lemony flavor.
- Cut off the very tip of the 4 lemon ends so they can stand up (take care not to cut into the inside of the lemon).
- Halve the lemons across the middle and core them with a small spoon (save the juice).
Posset
- Heat the heavy cream, sugar, and vanilla in a small pot over medium heat, stirring constantly.
- Let it come to a soft boil and then simmer while you stir for 4-5 minutes.
- Take the pan off the heat.
- Add the juice from the 4 lemons and the zest, and whisk to combine.
- Spoon the posset into the lemon halves, filling them to the top.
- Let the possets cool in the fridge for 3 hours.
- Top with berries and lemon balm or mint.
- Serve.
