It’s starting to feel like summer and we’ve got a delicious treat for you - literally and figuratively. Inspired by the Kentucky Derby horse races, we put together the perfect sweet treat that not only tastes great, but looks really, really cute. Like almost too cute to eat. Insert a Clementine Posset. For a quick video tutorial of how to make this recipe, click the image below.
Possets are cream-based desserts that can be served hot or cold, but for the purpose of this recipe (and because we suckers for a cold, sweet treat on a sunny day) we are going with the cold version. These are a guaranteed showstopper if you’re building out a fun food table, going to a party or just looking for something fun to eat while hanging around the pool.
Here is what you’ll need to make these adorable treats:
-
10 clementines (1 for zest/ juice, 8 for cups, extras just in case)
-
1 tbsp clementine zest
-
2 tbsp clementine juice
-
1 tbsp lime juice
-
1 ¼ cups heavy cream
-
¼ cup sugar
-
Pinch of salt
-
2 tbsp agave syrup
This recipe yields 8 possets, but adjust accordingly depending on the quantity desired. Any type of citrus could be substituted for this recipe - think lemon possets, grapefruit possets, blood orange posset, pick your weapon!
Ready to get started? Let's get to it.
-
Zest 1 clementine and juice enough to get 2 tbsp of juice.
-
Slice the tops off 8 clementines and scoop out the insides (store any extra). These are your serving cups - save the tops as lids. QUICK TIP: use a knife to separate the membrane from the outter peel before scooping out with a spoon. You'll save youreself some headache building this step in.
-
Juice the clementine flesh and measure out 2 tbsp.
-
In a small pot, heat cream, sugar and salt over medium-low heat for 2-3 minutes, stirring to prevent bubbling.
-
Remove from heat. Stir in clementine juice, lime juice, zest, and agave. Let sit for 10 minutes.
-
Strain into a measuring cup and pour into your clementine cups. Pop any air bubbles with a toothpick.
-
Cover and chill in the fridge for 2-3 hours (or overnight) until set. Serve with spoons and scoop posset out of clementine.
For these clementine possets, we like to use a small spoon for easy scooping, and for an added flare of design, we love these antique inspired spoons. You can view a tutorial on how we made these possets here. Enjoy!

Our Organic Jalapeño Mustard is where it all started! Years ago, Heather and Bobby began to share some of their passions with the local community, selling vegetables from their organic garden at the local market, playing in the kitchen creating delicious blends from their abundant Jalapeño crops!
