Lavender Honey Posset: The Easiest Entertaining Dessert You’ve Never Heard Of

This honey posset recipe is my go to entertaining dessert because they require no special ingredients, can be made ahead and they look so fancy! We won’t tell anyone how insanely simple they are.

Up until about a year ago, I had never heard of a posset before. A sweet friend shared her recipe with me as her most made dessert and I was immediately so intrigued…just 4 ingredients and no tempering eggs or messing with gelatin?!

My interest had been thoroughly piqued and I made it that week for a dinner party. I now consider this one of my greatest entertaining skill sets too!

Today I’m sharing with you my favorite version of this dish….lavender honey posset. My guests are always a little thrown off by lavender showing up in their dessert but as soon as they taste it, all things are right again in the world.

The flavors here are delicate, creamy, intricate, refreshingly different to the palate. The dish is thick and custardy but not in the way an egg custard is and nothing like a gelatin based dessert. Its simplicity is a thing of beauty.
