Lemon Posset Shells

A plant-based twist on the classic British lemon posset, perfect for summer entertaining and far easier to make than it looks. We serve ours in hollowed-out lemon shells for that wow factor, and swap half the cream for silken tofu for a lighter, more nutritious take. Don't worry, nobody will know there's tofu in it! Creamy, tangy, and naturally set overnight, this is the kind of dessert you make the day before and look like a complete pro.

Step 1

Wash and halve the lemons. Using a small sharp knife, cut around the inside edge of each lemon half, keeping the blade close to the pith to preserve the shell. Use a spoon to loosen and scoop out the flesh in sections, working carefully around the edges to avoid puncturing the base. Once all the flesh is removed, run your finger around the inside of the shell to check for any remaining membrane or seeds before setting aside.

Notes

🌱 Plant Points: 2

🔄 Swap: No oat cream? Any plant-based double cream alternative will work, just make sure it's whippable/cooking grade rather than a pouring cream.

🌾 Naturally gluten-free, just check your oat cream label to confirm.

🫙 Keeps in the fridge for up to 3 days. Keep in the shells or jars and cover with cling film.

❄️ Not suitable for freezing, the texture will not hold once defrosted.

💡 The lemon juice is added off the heat. This is important as it's what causes the posset to set. Don't skip this step!

💡 Nutritional values are approximate and calculated per serving.

It was delicious! First time I used silken tofu and definitely not the last. I had to double the filling, but I had big lemon shells.

Glad you loved it, Martina! I LOVE how versatile silken tofu is, so you'll definitely find lots of inspo here! there's the Dark Chocolate & Orange Mousse with Caramel Pecan Crunch I suggest to try next, or you can have a look at the savoury recipes like the Creamy Coconut Chickpea Curry x
