Step-by-Step Instructions

  2. Whisk the sugar mixture with heavy cream and vanilla extract in a mixing bowl until smooth, around 1-2 minutes.
  3. Pour the cream mixture into a saucepan and heat over low until it simmers gently for about 1 minute.
  4. Remove from heat and stir in freshly squeezed orange juice until well combined.
  5. Pour the mixture through a fine mesh sieve into a clean bowl to remove zest and pulp.
  6. Hollow out orange halves or prepare ramekins for serving while the posset cools slightly.
  7. Pour the strained posset mixture into prepared bowls. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours.
  8. Garnish with fresh mint before serving and enjoy!
