Mary Berry shared the recipe for a creamy and fragrant frozen elderflower posset that doesn’t need churning and one calls for four simple ingredients.
This desire from the chef’s book, Mary Berry Cooks, can be made with other fruit cordials, so you can get as creative as you like with it.
However, Mary warned against using fruit juice, as it is the sugar in the cordial that makes the posset freeze nicely.
This recipe serves four and doesn’t require any cooking, making it ideal for a hot summer day.
Make sure you let your mixture freeze properly before pulsing it to achieve the desired consistency, so it’s recommended to plan ahead properly in order to have it ready for dessert time.
Instructions
Whip the cream in a bowl until it holds its shape (soft peaks). Slowly add the elderflower cordial, whisking constantly to mix it evenly.
Pour the mixture into a plastic container with a lid and freeze until solid, at least three hours or overnight.
To achieve a smoother texture, break up any ice crystals by pulsing the frozen mixture in a food processor. Divide the smooth ice cream into elegant dessert glasses or martini glasses and refreeze for at least three hours, or overnight.
For serving, soften the frozen treat in the fridge for 15-20 minutes. Top each portion with a few summer berries and a sprinkle of powdered sugar for a sophisticated presentation.
