Ingredients
- 1 ruby grapefruit, plus wedges to garnish
- 450 ml double thick cream
- ⅔ cup (150 g) caster sugar
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- shortbread, to serve
Chilling time 4 hours or overnight
Instructions
Finely grate the grapefruit zest, then halve and juice (you’ll need 100 ml). Heat the cream, sugar and grapefruit zest in a saucepan over low heat for 2–3 minutes, stirring to dissolve sugar. Remove from the heat and set aside to cool slightly for 1–2 minutes.
Gently stir the grapefruit and lemon juice into the cream mixture, then divide among four ½ cup (125 ml) serving glasses. Chill for 4 hours or overnight until set.
Garnish the possets with grapefruit wedges and serve with shortbread.
