Recipe for Lemon Posset anyone?

[Minnie's Mate]

On our trip Christmas week, we dined at the Rose-n-Crown. For desert I tried the Lemon Posset and loved it. Does anyone have the recipe for this? I had the English pie sampler and have the recipe from the Chicken and Leek Pie and the Cottage Pie in our Dinning with Mickey cookbook. I really enjoyed this desert and would like to recreate it at home sometime if I can. I am going make the Chicken and Leek Pie for dinner tomorrow night (Saturday).

Thanks. I assume the "caster sugar" is the same as American powdered sugar.

Also Margie J, my wife loved the Salmon Presetta (?) at The Hollywood Brown Derbie, don't suppose you have that one do you.

By the way, I tried the Chicken and Leek Pie recipe and it turned out pretty close to what I had at the Rose-n-Crown. I will have to make a little fine tuning on my adjustment for dried herbs though (they were a little too strong). Other than that, it tasted pretty much the same.
