I discovered possets only recently, when I made a Lemon and Lavender version for my daughter’s 8th birthday party. I had never even heard of possets before, but when I read the recipe, I knew I would love them. It’s an English dessert that is perfect for tea time. Possets are quite similar to panna cotta, but they do not contain gelatin, which makes it a great option for all my vegetarian friends. The final result is something in between a mousse and a panna cotta: creamy and silky. After trying the lemon version, I started experimenting a bit with flavours and these Passion fruit Possets were amazing! I especially love that it only takes 5 minutes to make them. Try them and let me know!

Recipe Notes
Double cream is thick cream that contains about 45-48% of fat. Even though it is thick, it does not contain thickening agents or gelatin.
This looks so yummy. Thank You so much.
Very nice, quick and easy dessert. I was given a bag of Passionfruit so put a cupful in. Tasted fantastic.
There is no indication of how much passion fruit is used in the recipe.
It’s in the ingredients list – 1/2 cup of passion fruit pulp. 🙂
Happy New Year!
