A luxurious dessert to be sure. I've made this now using strawberries, blueberries, peaches and pineapple. The pineapple was a little too sweet, but the others were fabulous. I also decided to cut the 1/2 cup of sugar in the cream down to half that, and these still turned out great. A fun treat to experiment with.
I made this on Sunday and the whole family agreed that this was one of the best desserts we'd ever had. This is definitely getting added to our go-to recipes for summer!
Hey! I'm a 60 year-old British person... and *I* know what posset is. You just put 10 years on me. I wonder whether a quick grind of black pepper might intensify this very nicely. Seriously. If you've never had pepper with strawberries, try it.
Oh my goodness. Until now, I was unaware of the amazing transformation that takes place in that cream with sugar and lemon juice. This has to be one of the most heavenly looking desserts I have ever seen and I can not wait to make it for my family. Thank You as always John. And BTW: I'm glad your oak tree didn't claim you, you car or anything else.
A posset was originally a popular British hot drink made of milk curdled with wine or ale, often spiced, which was often used as a remedy. In the 16th century the drink evolved into a cream, sugar and citrus-based confection, which is still consumed today as a cold set dessert similar to syllabub. Syllabub is a sweet dish from Cornish cuisine, made by curdling sweet cream or milk with an acid like wine or cider. It was popular from the 16th to 19th centuries. Early recipes for syllabub made for a drink of cider with milk. By the 17th century it had evolved into a type of dessert made with sweet white wine.
I’ve just sent my husband to buy some more strawberries in the supermarket 😆 as it is its season in the south of Spain, delicious and good price. Now I’m not going to make jam but this devine dream posset for tomorrow’s pudding. Thanks. 😋😋
Thanks Chef! This recipe MADE my Mom's mothers Day! I also made it for a big Mothers Day dinner today and everyone loved it! I haven't gotten a chance to taste it but everyone else loved it!
A man and his team Were shooting a stream, In hopes of success in abundance. To their dismay they hit stop and not play- There goes their chances at Sundance. Now they just sit Feeling like shit And eating some strawberry goodies. But at least they have taste And never make haste To please all of their inner-foodies. I am drunk.
Uhhh. Okayyy. Is there something that I’m supposed to ‘get’? I mean, like some deep and inner esoteric meaning. Cuz I’m not getting it. But then, sometimes I’m a little slow on the up-take. So, if there is a meaning and everyone else got it, and I’m the only one that didn’t.... then I’m okay with that. Because, all in all, I enjoyed the poem anyway.
Strawberries will be at the farmers market tomorrow and I have the other ingredients on hand. Can't wait! UPDATE: I've made this three times now - twice to enjoy at home, and again today to share with friends tomorrow. It holds well overnight in the fridge when covered. In fact, the extra time holding it overnight made my strawberry dream firm up a bit more - just how we like it. It seems like it could adapt well to other fruits. Next time I'm going to try a mango-lime version, perhaps garnished with a whisper of toasted coconut.
Chef John, you don't disappoint! I don't know about anyone else, but I usually have a few giggles watching /listening to your videos. This was in my line up in the nic of time
Adding vanilla is always interesting to me in baking videos, because it seems that you Americans seem to have that "vanilla extract" which is that liquid thing, but in Finland the common way to get vanilla (other than real vanilla sticks) is "vanilla sugar" which is like powdered sugar with ground vanilla added to it, sold in smallish "spice sized" containers. And make no mistake, one might think that that liquid "extract" would be much more powerful, but based on how much of that you add to your bakings, vanilla sugar really is strong, you usually need very little of it for any baking endeavor (like half a teaspoon or less).
i had all the ingredients as i just picked up some strawberries today, instantly made this, setting up in the fridge now! I have to say i did rush my maceration process a little bit :P
Came out a bit thinner for me. Probably should have cooked the cream a bit longer. Flavour was absolutely great though. Best thing about trying a recipe for the first time is that you learn for next time
Chef John will ALWAYS be my dude for acknowledging Craig Mack. I appreciate the "Huller!!!" joke as well. Not a big fan of strawberries BUT I know a few people that are SO this will get a go. Thank you again!!
I just made this and it's amazing! I've never cooked cream and sugar together, the smell, Oh! the beautiful aroma ! Just making this dish is a wonderful experience.
found your channel looking for a sauce and couldn't help but be pulled in by your easy instructions and tone you give. your intro also gives me a Frasier vibe and i love it. keep up the stellar work!
You finally put in words why it wasn't a dumb idea for me to enjoy some fruits with a little sugar :P I was always told "but they are already sweet", but for some reason I always thought that a bowl of strawberries could always be improved with a spoon of sugar.
The Good Cook three piece paring knife set with serrated blades is very handy for efficient strawberry hulling. Chef John is correct: Slicing horizontally across the top is easier but wastes too much fruit.
I made this first with blueberries and it was awesome. I then made the strawberry version and made it with the first batch of fresh Ontario strawberries and it was an absolute smash hit at the bbq I brought them to. Thanks for this.
Um, I'm not 70, and I'm not British, and I know what is a posset! It's hot milk, curdled with wine, or maybe ale, hopefully spices, maybe sugar. But, of course, I know this because it's an historical food item, generally served as invalid fare, to cure a cold. Or, maybe just make you forget the cold? Thank you for this, it looks delicious!
Came out great, Chef! Also, I found that if you pour the creme over the back of a spoon set just above the berry mix, it settles more nicely over top. Thanks for the great recipe!
My Nana used to serve the grandchildren Something very similar I would think. It was strawberries with brown sugar crumbles and sour cream. It was super yummy. I think I'm gonna try it again.
When you cooked the cream after the lemon juice I immediately thought, "Wait, isn't that a posset?" ♥️ Nice job though, I will definitely try this, maybe even with limoncello in the berries.
I just made some classic panna cotta with puréed strawberries as a sauce. This feels like a different presentation of the same ingredients (minus the gelatine) - yummy!
Did this for Mother's day and my mom absolutely loved it except it was kind of too sweet for her. So be careful. But it looks absolutely gorgeous and tastes amazing! So thank you.
If you eat "a lot" of this, your cholesterol will soar and you'll get fat. It's a treat, not "a lot." I'd rather you make it with lots of berries and much less cream.
@@MarySanchez-qk3hp wow seems like being named after a Saint has gone to your head, maybe keep your unsolicited advice to yourself the next time you think about food shaming a random person in the comments of a recipe video.
you can also use a drinking straw to take out the haul by: inserting it through the bottoms of the strawberries, twisting it around, and then pulling it out through the bottom or pushing it out though the top.
Chef John, what other fruits can this be made with? Like how about cherries, peaches, or pears? Apples, mango, blueberries? I assume citrus wouldn't be advised, and maybe not watermelon, but essentially all the drupes & pomes should work, in theory, yes? Or chocolate? Hmmm, how about white chocolate and lemon?
As someone who knew the term "maceration" only from medicine/dermatology, hearing about macerated strawberries gave me massive cognitive dissonances. Still going to try this though, it looks extremely delicious.
As an extra bonus, using the fleshier bits remaining after putting the strawberries through the mesh and combining it with crushed biscuit or similar at the bottom can add a another nice texture to it, and also has some of those strawberry tones. Strawberry 4 ways.

Now I’m intrigued.
Thank you for the idea, friend! I really want to try that now!
I'm gonna try that. Also gonna try cardamon
Or white balsamic vinegar is great too.
Reduced aged balsamic vinegar can also be drizzled over strawberries, if they need a little help.
I'm disappointed he didn't say "don't be in a hurry to make your strawberry slurry"
you are the Tim Curry of your strawberry slurry
Hush now we all are but his GENIUS cant be forced. Only he can decide the right moment

I just made this with Mango instead of strawberries, definitely recommend trying it. Turned out perfect.
I know it's not February but I still hope this will help me get lots of compliments
You're doing a good job
*_YOU ARE A WONDERFUL AFRICAN-AMERICAN._*
Yeah compliments wink wink XD
It will get you l.....ots of compliments
Only true fans get it 😂😂

I love strawberries so as soon as I saw this I immediately went and bought the ingredients and it did not disappoint. It is absolutely delicious!!
Made this today. Didn’t tell the wife what it was. She said she is going to call it Strawberry Dream. Sharp minds.
🤩🤩🤩
I am so happy my local CSA farm is about to start churning out flat upon flavorful flat of juicy strawberries.
Delicious looking and great info on firming cream without using cornstarch or gelatin!
Thanks Chef! This recipe MADE my Mom's mothers Day!
I also made it for a big Mothers Day dinner today and everyone loved it!
I haven't gotten a chance to taste it but everyone else loved it!

The "little touch of sugar" always gets me
Wayyy too much
@@terrynouger1194 it’s not too much, it’s the perfect amount that the recipe was formulated for, it’s a dessert after all
@@terrynouger1194 i followed the recipe its not too much

I think if you pour your cream mixture over the back of a spoon (like you would in a 'layered' cocktail) it wouod make a nice presentation.
Squirmy and Grubs posted a video today making this. They did this method and it turned out really pretty.
Chef John, you don't disappoint! I don't know about anyone else, but I usually have a few giggles watching /listening to your videos. This was in my line up in the nic of time
Sweet dreams are made of these!
Just the cover image looks so delicious I couldn't resist the comment
Who am I to disagree? 😁
I’ve travelled the world and the 5 oceans.
Dylan, the line is "traveled the world and the seven seas, everybody's looking for something." Jeez. :(
@@MarySanchez-qk3hp :( yes exactly, thank you. I was so bummed.
Made this today for Father's Day, everyone who had it loved it, said it was a keeper. Thank you for the recipe, will be making again.

I've been dreaming a dream of these strawberries and cream!
"When hope was high and life worth living"
Strawberry dreams forever 🎶
For anyone wondering. This can be made with a sugar substitute. I made this recipe yesterday using monk fruit and it was amazing.
Today is mother's day in Brazil. Made the strawberry dream here and it was truly amazing. Thank you, Chef John!
Excellent recipe once again! I live in idaho and made this with huckleberries and it was huge hit! Thanks Chef John
Chef John is the Louis Gossett of the Strawberry Posset. He also reigns supreme with the Strawberry Dream
Mom of two here. Making this for MYSELF today since my family didn't bother to do anything.
Happy belated Mother's Day! I hope you had a good time regardless.
Happy Moms day belated😊
I made this dessert today for Mother’s Day dinner with my kids.... it was SO easy and delicious. Bravo chef John for yet another amazing recipe
i had all the ingredients as i just picked up some strawberries today, instantly made this, setting up in the fridge now! I have to say i did rush my maceration process a little bit :P
Unsweetened yogurt is healthier.

Absolutely delicious, and simple too.
"We'll add a little touch of sugar to the sauce pan."
*Dumps in a whole bowl of sugar*
Thank you for this excellent recipe. I made it today, and it tasted delicious. Your instructions are fool proof.

I made this last night. Had it tonight. It. Was. Fantastic! Definitely going to be making it again
I think it would look great layered
Just in time for the strawberry season! Thanks, Chef!

I was scrolling for ideas to use up some mulberries I picked and this is perfect! It was so delicious with the lemon
Strawberries are coming in now here in the Carolinas. Can hardly wait to make this. Thanks Chef John!
Making this ASAP!!! Pure summer in a glass! Thanks Chef John!!
My mum use to make mushed strawberries with whipping cream, sugar and it was delicious !!

Going to give this a whirl to-day...Thanks Chef John from Canada
I made this yesterday. And it was so amazing, that I made it again today.
When you cooked the cream after the lemon juice I immediately thought, "Wait, isn't that a posset?" ♥️
Nice job though, I will definitely try this, maybe even with limoncello in the berries.
I made this last night. I was a little nervous putting it into the refrigerator but it firmed up perfectly. I enjoyed one with breakfast.
I'd love if you did the puree on the cups tilted and pop in the fridge, then set it up with the cream
And kind of float the cream onto it like with Irish coffee
I made this and it turned out wonderful! Thanks Chef!!!
I just made some classic panna cotta with puréed strawberries as a sauce. This feels like a different presentation of the same ingredients (minus the gelatine) - yummy!

The tip of an old school metal potato peeler works great for hulling!
Wow Chef this looks great. I love strawberries.
You are a brilliant chef. This looks so amazing. I watch Squirmy and grubs and Shane recommended your channel. He was right.
Made this for a party and was a huge hit. Everyone loved it!
That will be beautiful for the summer. I can't wait to make this for my mom
tried this on the weekend...it was amazing! advice for any non-americans: use half the sugar. i got diabetes just from looking at the dessert :D
Wow, it's been a minute since I've immediately decided that I need to make one of your recipes but I think I'll be making a lot of this.
If you eat "a lot" of this, your cholesterol will soar and you'll get fat. It's a treat, not "a lot." I'd rather you make it with lots of berries and much less cream.
@@MarySanchez-qk3hp cool, thanks bro. I appreciate the completely unsolicited diet advise.

Never clicked as fast. I will definitely be doing this on Sunday, we gotta take advantage of the spanish strawberry season!
As for the cream... what about pouring it over the back of a spoon as is done for some layered alcoholic drinks? Would that work?
I made this last night, it was excellent! Thank you!
Use a steel straw! It cores them SO well!
Yep, Lawless, I do this too. One of the few useful things I’ve learnt from the net !
I just planted strawberries - I hope I can harvest a pound : ) Best dessert recipe ever!
you can also use a drinking straw to take out the haul by: inserting it through the bottoms of the strawberries, twisting it around, and then pulling it out through the bottom or pushing it out though the top.
You really are delightful. So are your presentations.

Going to do this with fresh blackberries!
good idea!!!
You are (after all)
The Goose Gossett
Of your Strawberry Possett!
You are the reason I love cooking, I won a national competition couple of years ago, thank you
Perfect for Ramadan!!!
oh wow, that looks easy, but delicious! Thank you!
This was so much fun to make! Took better part of the day, but so worth it! I used some beautiful depression glass goblets for these! Pretty!
we planted a few varieties of strawberries and they are flowering these days so once they are ripe, I will make this
I have made possets a few times since you made them a few years ago. They are my favorite dessert no one has ever heard of.
these food wishes videos are therapeutic
Thank you Chef John!
As someone who knew the term "maceration" only from medicine/dermatology, hearing about macerated strawberries gave me massive cognitive dissonances. Still going to try this though, it looks extremely delicious.
this made me look it up to see how it could apply medically and I just went "oh no"
@@MintyArisato You're welcome. Might wanna avoid an image search for "discharge". There are so many terms that have a "normal" and a medical meaning.
Never put your food under a microscope. Doesn’t even bear thinking about. Same about friends. Or, anything.

Wow I had no idea you could make pudding like that. I love strawberry and whipped cream, will have to give this variation a try.
I love this easy recipe I’m adding this to my keto list. Substitute for the sugar of course. Thank you chef John
OMG , this is such a great dessert, easy to make and really delicious. Thank you Chef John.
I couldn't see the bowl under the strainer and thought I was about to witness a tragedy.
Yep, same. Lol
Me too. Thought it was a chinois strainer
Ok. Here for this bc S&G made this on their channel!! Adding the ingredients to my grocery list. 💕
Looks great; thanks Chef John.
That looks so extremely tempting! I think I must try this next time I find myself dragging home strawberries from the shop! 😍
Hi Chef John. I'm from India and it's the mango season here. Give us some cool mango recipes too 😊
I bet you could make a similar mango dream
When chef John is using measuring cups on camera, you know that dream is serious.
Oh I love this. Absolutely delicious..need this at least once a week.,
Delicious, perfect dessert chef John!
You didnt even have time to watch the video.
This looks amazing. Thank you & we love you, Chef John.❤️
Reminds me of the korean strawberry milk recipes. Looks great.
