This eggless custard is set with the acidity of the lemon juice, which thickens the cream without curdling it. Because it is not baked and uses no eggs, the consistency is more fluid than in a traditional set custard. Posset sets just enough so that it can be topped with a few fresh berries and eaten with a spoon, but it does turn fluid once stirred.
