Honey lemon cream puddings

By Annabel Langbein , Thursday 19 January 2012

Alphabet I It’s difficult to find another dessert that delivers so much for so little. Heating cream with honey and sugar then adding lemon juice creates a delicious mixture that sets to a dense, spoonable consistency. This dessert can be made up to 24 hours ahead. I like to present it in dainty antique tea cups

Prep time: 6 mins + 4 hours setting time

Cook time: 10 mins

Serves: 6–8

Ingredients

  • 600ml cream
  • 8 tbsp honey
  • 50g sugar
  • 100ml lemon juice, strained

To garnish

  • Fresh raspberries

Method

Place the cream, honey and sugar in a small saucepan over a medium heat. Boil, stirring, until the sugar dissolves. Reduce the heat and simmer for 3 minutes.

Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the lemon juice.

Strain the lemon cream through a sieve into 6–8 ramekins or cups and chill until set. This should take about 4 hours. Serve topped with fresh raspberries.
