I have never seen your channel before but I absolutely love the way you explain what you're doing is you're cooking. I have always had to know why I'm doing something a certain way and I love that you explain why you're doing things the way you're doing them❤
This is the best recipe I’ve ever watched and I’ve watched a lot! To the point but explaining why it works as he goes along. I’m a new subscriber!
A chef who knows his stuff. You can't beat it.
Thank you for teaching in such a lucid, cheerful manner. I feel like making this...
Love the way you move while explaining. So now I've got a real concurrent for the German Zitronencrenme as well as for the French tartelettes au citron . Thanks a lot.
I really appreciate you explaining the science behind the whys of doing things and I think thats sorely lacking in many foodtubers. Understanding the techniques and technicalities are always the way to a better product and you’ve shared your knowledge really well. Good short and sweet informative video with no drama. I wish you the most success on your path forward!
That looks beyond scrumptious.
Great. Very passionate presentation. Congrats
Thank you! I will be treating myself with this and celebrate my 59 birthday!
Looks delicious will have to try this
Wonderful the way you interleave the science with the explanation of the food preparation!

Well, this was a lovely introduction to Chef Aaron Middleton over a lemon posset. It is hot summer here (south central BC) and this will be perfect for summer gatherings (we have a lot of birthdays to celebrate 'round our house). Berry season is upon us and I have lemons in the fridge. Might have to hunt for double cream..... Thanks for this special recipe, and, nice to meet you, Aaron.

Double cream is a much richer version of North American heavy cream. If that's what you have, increase the amount of cream by 30% or so and boil the mixture for 8-10 minutes instead of two.
Thank you for the great instructions and recipe with words. I couldn’t find a video with someone actually talking and I don’t live the ones that don’t talk cause I listen while I’m doing stuff so thanks all around for the great recipe

I made your recipe yesterday and today we're enjoying the most wonderful dessert. It's tart and sweet and super light. We live in the US so I couldn't get the double cream like you have and used our whipping cream instead, still it came out great. I'll definitely be saving your recipe. Thank you.

Can you use an alternative sweetener like erythritol /monk fruit extract etcetera?
Chef of the right complexion , not anorexic . Spot on!
I tried this and it didn’t quite set up. Does the cream need to reduce, or is the act of heating it enough?
Is double cream, heavy cream?

@@kat7692 Use double cream or add 30% extra heavy cream if you're in North America. Cream is NOT the enemy, sugar is - and I'm assuming here that you've been duped by thinking that high fat content is what makes us put on weight. It isn't, it's carbohydrates. We need to consume fat, but don't need carbohydrates at all. Ever.

Shortbread biscuits all the way mate! 🙌🏼 Serve on the side and use them to dip in. You could also add nuts to the mix before pouring in the mould 👍🏼
My first batch is in the fride cooling down. I had to take 30% cream since it was the fattiest one available and reduced it down a fair bit. Lets see how it comes out, it looked promising though and was quite delicious already! :)

@@chefaaronmiddleton It went very well, especially since I had never heard of that method of thickening. I just reduced the cream until I saw a hint of fat separationand then followed the rest of the recipe. I did an additional try, substituting lemon juice for pureed cherries with a bit of citric acid. Worked out great too. While the classic is great, I am willing to bet the recipe is pretty versatile :D Though I wonder how much you can reduce the sugar before the emulsion becomes unstable. Further testing required 😄

@@ashamancito4630I bet you could reduce the cream quite a bit since milk with a bit of sugar (or none at all) reduces into true dulce de leche where the caramelization of the natural sugars in the milk create that beautiful caramel color. Hope your experimenting went well! I've just discovered lemon posset and my creativity is sparking!
Can we frizz it?
Is it reccommended to use the Zest. Is it important? Becaus its true it contains alot of vitamines. But also alot of the chemicals. They spray the fruit for a good color, to let the fruit shine, to protect against fungus, to keep it longer fresh, etc.... It makes no sense to eat it.
Is double cream same as heaving whipping cream?

i googled the transelation. If its right there is alot more fat in double cream compared to whipped cream.
Great video...as I suspected the recipe turned out too sweet for me I would cut the sugar in half next time
Simple yet amazing dessert 😊 What is the fat content of the cream? 10% or 35%. Asking for north American friend😊
@squadiodatamj5998
Жыл бұрын
10% cream is light table cream, the kind of cream used in coffee. 35% is heavy cream suitable for whipping. I just looked up double cream (UK) and it can be as rich as 48%. Can't say I've seen double cream available in Canada.
There's no such thing as 'double cream' in my country...The highest %fat I could find here is 33%. Unfortunately, I didn't work, too low. Even after 24 hours it was still liquidy. Welp, I ate it the way it is, delicious nevertheless. But I wish I could make it more creamy like it should be. Btw, I still don't get why do we have to boil the cream? Just because of sugar? So I would use liquid sweeteners instead, does it mean I can skip this part?

I researched a bit. Whipping cream has usually 30-35% fat. Double cream usually has 48% (in the UK, allegedly) In my country i can't find anything higher than 40% fat cream.
