Prep Time 5 minutes mins
Cook Time 5 minutes mins
Chill Time 2 hours hrs
Total Time 2 hours hrs 6 minutes mins
- 1 cup heavy cream
- ¼ cup sugar
- ⅓ cup mango puree 1-2 mangos
- 1 lemon juiced
- vanilla bean paste
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, add the heavy cream and sugar. Stir continuously until the sugar dissolves completely.
Hollow out fresh mangoes, leaving some pulp inside to add texture. The shells will act as natural serving bowls for the posset. Purée the mango with lemon juice.
Lower the heat and stir in the lemon juice and mango purée. Scrape the seeds from the vanilla bean and add them to the mixture. Mix thoroughly to ensure even consistency.
Pour the creamy mixture into the prepared mango shells. Place them in the refrigerator and let them set for at least two hours.
Once chilled, sprinkle a thin layer of sugar on top of each filled mango shell. Use a kitchen torch to caramelize the sugar until golden and crisp.
