Serve the posset into ramekins, top it with mint leaf and a cherry. However, serving it in hollowed orange halves adds a fun element, look like a total showstopper.
How to store this dessert
This dessert is great make ahead which can be made the night before and allow it to chill overnight in the fridge for the perfect texture.
I would not recommend to store this in freezer since its a cream based recipe. If any leftovers, cling wrap it and it will remain good upto 3 days.

Notes
1. For making this recipe we have used 4 oranges. One orange is used to take out the zest and after that we will juice them all.
2. You may strain the mixture before pouring it into remakins, I haven’t.
3. To make this dessert I would suggest to use fresh oranges or kinnow or mandarins.
4. To get that perfect taste do not use bottled or packaged orange juice. Freshly squeezed orange juice hits the spot.
5. You need to simmer the cream mix gently not boil. Boiling can cause the cream to separate, which doesn’t provide silky smooth finish.
