Ingredients

  • 4 Oranges, divided *See notes
  • 1/2 Cup Castor sugar
  • 1 Orange Zested
  • 1/2 cup orange juice 120 ml
  • 2 cups Amul Fresh Cream 500 ml
  • 1 tbsp vanilla essence

Instructions

Mix the sugar and orange zest

  • To begin with wash all the 4 oranges well. Wipe them with kitchen towel. Zest one orange and keep it aside.
  • Now mix this zest in Castor sugar using your fingers to release aroma.

Make orange juice

  • Cut the oranges in half, scoop out the flesh to create hollow servings bowls. Take out the juice from orange flesh and set aside.

Heat gently on the stovetop

  • In a thick bottom steel pan add fresh cream along with sugar & orange zest mix.
  • Whisk well, warm it up on low heat but make sure not to boil it. Keep whisking continuously, it will take approx 2 to 3 minutes.

Stir in orange juice

  • Once the mixture is warm, take off the heat, immediately whisk in orange juice. This is a crucial step which helps the posset to set.

Pour and chill in the fridge

  • Now spoon this mixture into remakins or in hollowed oranges. Transfer this in fridge to chill for minimum 3 hour to set further.
  • Serve chilled garnished with orange slices,  mint leaves and cherry on the top.
  • Enjoy.......

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.
