Lemon Posset with Greek Yogurt & Gelatin (No Cream!)

This posset is a gentle, creamy treat with a tangy citrus kick and caramel hints from the coconut sugar — all without heavy cream. Perfect for a mindful dessert moment.

Ingredients:

  • Greek yogurt (plain, unsweetened) – 400 g
  • Coconut sugar – 60–70 g (adjust to taste)
  • Lemons – 2 (zest + ~80 ml fresh juice)
  • Gelatin – 1½ tsp (or 5 g)
  • Cold water – 3 tbsp (for blooming the gelatin)
  • Vanilla extract – optional

Instructions:

  1. Bloom the gelatin
    In a small bowl, mix gelatin with 3 tbsp cold water. Stir and let it sit for 10 minutes to bloom.
  2. Make the lemon base
    Zest the lemons (only the yellow part) and squeeze out the juice. In a small saucepan, combine lemon juice, zest, and coconut sugar. Warm gently over low heat until the sugar dissolves. Do not boil!
  3. Add the gelatin
    Remove from heat and stir in the bloomed gelatin until fully dissolved.
  4. Combine with yogurt
    In a mixing bowl, whisk the Greek yogurt until smooth. Slowly pour the warm lemon mixture into the yogurt, whisking constantly. Add a splash of vanilla if you like.
  5. Pour and chill
    Divide the mixture into serving glasses or jars. Chill in the fridge for at least 4 hours, or overnight, until set.
  6. To serve
    Top with fresh berries, a drizzle of honey, coconut flakes, or mint leaves.
