You may be wondering what that is but I’ll break it down for you. A Posset is a cold dessert, made from thick cream and often flavored with lemon. In this case, we’ll use something different and the results are guaranteed to be perfect!

Just the other day, I bumped into this amazing recipe prepared by fast-rising Kenyan food blogger Kaluhi’s Kitchen. The story she told was epic, I must say, and the method she outlined in her post was the best ever.

I am a big dessert fan myself, and I find myself stuffing my tummy with more and more whenever I get the chance.

For Kaluhi, here’s the best recipe for a Mint Strawberry Posset:

Ingredients:

1 cup of fresh strawberries

4 tablespoons of granulated sugar

1 teaspoon of finely chopped mint

3 tablespoons of Guinness Stout

200 g of double cream

Method:

Slice your strawberries and blend them together with the mint until they are completely pureed. Set this aside. In the event you do not have strawberries, you can use lemons or limes. You can use any fruit, but those that have a degree of acidity work best.

In a sauce pan, add your double cream. To the double cream, add your granulated sugar and three tablespoons of Guinness. The Guinness will slightly darken the color of your cream but it works wonders on amplifying the sweet flavors! Guinness has inherent sweetness as a result of the malt, and this is complimented and brought out well with the sweetness of the sugar and the creme.

Allow this to simmer for about 4 minutes, then add your pureed strawberries. Kaluhi added mint to this and it made the favor a lot more profiled and delicious. Let it simmer for 2 more minutes then remove from the heat.

The rest of the product was something so beautiful and super yummy. Go check it out on ...you’ll not be disappointed. Oh and by the way, if you can’t make the Posset tonight, you can always enjoy a cold Guiness with your friends at select pubs for a chance to GET BOOKED!
