Lemon Posset Surprise

Written by Published on Updated on May 28, 2019 in Uncategorized

Lemon Posset mmmhhhh I haven’t made this in years! So why is it a surprise well because when you make Lemon Posset you have to use heavy cream, and since I can’t find any in my area I substituted the cream with condensed milk.  Surprise! 🙂 hahaha

Ok, well that really isn’t the only surprise..since Mother’s Day is coming up and my mom lives in Greece and I live in NL, there is no way for me to be able to celebrate with her besides calling her up. Since we both love Lemon tasty desserts I made this Lemon Posset as a small celebration for her to see.  🙂  My mom is not a tech expert she really doesn’t know how to use the internet to search and look up my blog, so what I do is I always take a picture before I post it and send it to her via Viber so that she can see what I made.  🙂  This keeps her in the loop  with what I am doing…:)  and she enjoys it. 🙂

Lemon Posset one of the easiest desserts to make so if you love lemon or lime you should try this out…..only two ingredients go into making this dessert so simple.  Now, because I used condensed milk there was no need to add sugar, it is already very sweet enough as it is, so I just added the lemon juice. 🙂 If you want it even sweeter go ahead and add as much sugar as you think is necessary.  I think my British friends will enjoy this one because the origin of the Lemon Posset is from the UK…They used it as a cold/flu remedy back in the old days, it was a warm milk drink with added wine, beer 🙂 and spice. 🙂  Nice!!

So, I would like to wish a lovely Mother’s Day to all the moms in the world, and enjoy your lovely day!!

Happy Mother’s Day Mom 🙂  Ta leme meso telefonou 🙂

Welcome to a small corner of my Greek Heritage. Growing up in New York from Greek parents, was a challenge of its own...but the traditional food, tastes and aromas that my mother cooked always travelled me back to Greece. My mother is a wonderful cook, our house would always have that smell of home cooked food. I remember very clearly that we were only allowed fast food, once a week, that was a huge day for myself and my brother. Jumping up and down in the back car seat, laughing, just being kids. It is true that we all like to eat different foods, taste, smell, even try food that looks different than our regular meals at home and I think that is so natural. In my teens, I was not really into cooking, I enjoyed my magazines after school, listening to music, and just taking a breather. There were times that I would glance at some of my mom's recipes, more out of curiosity than to actually try to cook them. At that time I did not realise that cooking would become my passion one day. Slowly, I would start to look into my mom's recipes a bit more each day and I started to find it interesting as a hobby. Each month I would go into our neighborhood bookstore and pick up my monthly book, until one day I decided to stroll over into the cooking section. That summer was the first time I actually bought a cooking magazine....and I loved it. Cooking and baking started out as a hobby, but now after many years it is my passion. Exploring the cuisines, the spices, the oils, the scents, the variety of smells and tastes that exist. It was and still is an amazing journey without limits. So, come along with me on this adventure, and I hope you enjoy my recipes. Sophie
