3-ingredient BRITISH recipe / ETON MESS / easy summer dessert classic | Miss Anglophilia

During the summer months we are all for taking it easy with the critical caveat that we should not do so at the expense of taste. This rule also applies to our favorite dish: dessert.

Simple low-ingredient treats like our no-bake cheesecake and five-layer ice cream bars satisfy your sweet tooth without too much effort in the kitchen. If you’re looking for an easy summer dessert with a little more pizzazz—and dare we say history—we look across the pond to this easy-to-make lemon poop a treat with a rich heritage that’s currently making waves on social media.

Posset originated in Britain as more of a warming drink than the custard-like dessert we know today. Milk was curdled with ale cider or sherry and the combination was thought to help with colds. Due to the liquid nature of posset it was usually served in a special posset cup with a spout on the side that resembled a small teapot. The drink was so popular that it was even mentioned in Shakespeare's plays.
