Berry Fizz Posset
Choose your favourite berry for this luxurious dessert, or go all out and make it triple layered!
INGREDIENTS:
-
420g berries - raspberries work well on their own, choose a mixture, or pick 3 to make a triple layered posset
-
450ml Longley Farm Double Cream
-
9 tbsp golden caster sugar
-
6 tbsp of your favourite bubbly (champagne, prosecco or cava)
-
4 Shortbread biscuits (learn how to make your own here)
METHOD:
For a single flavoured posset

- Heat the cream and sugar together on the hob, warming gently until the sugar melts.
- Increase the heat until just boiling, then boil vigorously for 2 ½ minutes.
- Turn off the heat and stir in the fruit puree.
- Cool for 15 minutes before dividing between 4 small pots or glasses
- Chill for at least 2 hours (or overnight if possible), then decorate with the berries you put to one side at the start.
- Serve with shortbread biscuits

- Heat 150ml cream and 3tbsp sugar together on the hob, warming gently until the sugar melts.
- Increase the heat until just boiling, then boil vigorously for 2 ½ minutes.
- Turn off the heat and stir in the first type of fruit puree.
- Cool for 15 minutes before dividing between 4 small pots or glasses
- Chill for at least 2 hours. When the first layer has set, repeat the process with your second flavour of berry, then leave that to chill. Once the second layer has set, repeat the process again with your final layer.
- Decorate with the leftover berries and serve with shortbread biscuits
