Instructions

Get Prepped
1

a) Pop the creme fraiche and half the sugar into a medium saucepan on medium heat. 

b) Gently bring to a simmer, then cook, stirring frequently, for 4-5 mins.

c) Meanwhile, zest and halve the limes. Remove the pistachios from their shells, then roughly chop.

Chill Out
2

a) Once the creme fraiche has simmered, squeeze in the lime juice and stir through the lime zest.

b) Remove from the heat and allow to cool for 10 mins.

c) Pour the cooled mixture into glasses and set in your fridge for 4 hours or overnight.

Crumb Time
3

a) Meanwhile, preheat your oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7.

b) To make the ginger biscuit crumb, add to a large bowl the flour, butter, ginger puree, remaining sugar and the oil for the flour (see pantry for amount). Use your fingers to rub everything together until it looks like sticky breadcrumbs.

c) Spread the crumb mixture in an even layer on a baking tray. Bake until golden, 9-11 mins, then remove from the oven and allow to cool. TIP: Toss halfway through baking to ensure an even golden colour.

d) When you're ready to eat, remove the possets from your fridge. Top with the ginger biscuit crumb and scatter over the pistachios to finish.

Enjoy!

Review summary

Updated on Feb 2026
  • Flavour: Some found the lime flavour overpowering; consider reducing the zest for a milder taste.
  • Ease of prep: Easy to make, though a few had issues with the posset setting properly.
  • Suggestions: Try using lemon instead of lime; consider serving with a sauce for added moisture.
  • Ginger crumb: The ginger crumb topping divided opinions; some found it too strong or abundant.
