Because Charlotte shattered her wrist (dancing, spinning, joyously, by the way), Steve and Janet invited her (and me, thank goodness) for dinner on Wednesday night. Steve grilled delicious pork and Janet made two fresh and beautiful salads. The final course was a dessert Steve made for us: Lemon Posset from Picnikins Patio Cafe.
It reminded me of one of my favorites--lemon panna cotta at Enoteca on South Congress in Austin. I'd drive ninety miles for that dessert any day if it weren't for the cost of gas added to the price of the lemon panna cotta! This could be the same recipe; it tastes exactly like it. Steve added cut-up strawberries to the top and it was heavenly.
Ingredients:
2 cups heavy cream
3/4 c. sugar
1/3 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice, strained
Mint or berries and powdered sugar to garnish.
Bring cream and sugar to a boil in a stainless steel pan. Reduce heat to a simmer and whisk for 6 to 8 minutes. Remove from heat and add lemon juice. Pour into small glasses or bowls and place in refrigerator to cool for 3-4 hours. Garnish with mint or berries. Dust with powdered sugar before serving.
Thanks, Steve, for sharing this recipe!
