I usually make lemon posset but we had a surplus of limes. Delicious!

Love this?

Really refreshing and creamy. The whole family enjoyed this desert. Loved so much so the family want it made again. Really recommend this recipe especially good if wanting something to finish off a meal thats not too heavy.
