This article provides a recipe for a dessert combining lemon posset and blueberry spoon fruit. The posset is made by boiling cream with sugar and lemon zest, then adding lemon juice and basil leaves. It sets in the refrigerator overnight. The blueberry spoon fruit involves cooking blueberries with sugar and lemon juice briefly to create a syrupy compote that retains berry texture. Both components can be prepared ahead of time, making for an easy last-minute dessert assembly.

Story summary
Helen Goh from the Sydney Morning Herald shares a recipe for a classic yet simple dessert: lemon possets paired with blueberry spoon fruit. The lemon posset is made using 140g caster sugar, zest of 2 lemons, 600ml pure cream, ⅛ tsp fine sea salt, 20g fresh basil leaves, and 90ml freshly squeezed lemon juice. For the blueberry spoon fruit, ingredients include 250g blueberries, 20g caster sugar, 2 tsp lemon juice, ¼ tsp vanilla bean paste, and a pinch of fine sea salt. Both elements can be prepared ahead of time, with only the final assembly needed just before serving. A crisp almond biscuit or shortbread complements this dessert well.

The quaintly named lemon posset is one of the simplest and most elegant desserts I know.

Made with little more than cream, sugar and lemons, it sets into a silky, spoonable custard without the need for eggs or gelatine.

Here, I’ve paired it with blueberry spoon fruit: berries cooked just long enough to soften into a glossy syrup while still retaining their shape.

Best of all, both elements can be made a day ahead, leaving only the simple pleasure of spooning the fruit over the chilled possets just before serving.

A crisp almond biscuit or shortbread served on the side would be a lovely accompaniment.
