Ingredients

  • ½ pomegranate
  • 1 cup heavy cream or double cream in the UK!
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 4 mint leaves optional

Instructions

  • Blend the pomegranate seeds in a nutribullet or blender and then sieve to separate the hard seed from the juice. Discard the seeds.
  • In a non-stick saucepan, pour in the cream and sugar. Slowly bring to a gentle boil, stirring continuously. Allow the mixture to boil for 3 minutes, but make sure that it isn't a 'hard' boil as that could cause the cream to split.
  • Once it has boiled, take the cream mixture off the heat and pour in the pomegranate juice. Stir well and allow to cool for ten minutes. Then pour into the bowls you will serve the pomegranate possets in. Place in the fridge to set for 2-3 hours. Once set, decorate with a few mint leaves and enjoy!
