I’ve done a grapefruit posset a few times in the past and it was really good!
Grapefruit is NOT allowed, due to the medications which OH takes…
but I like the fact that it only takes a short while to cook on the hob… and we always have lots of lemons.
plan to use speculoos biscuits to make the base…
I’ll let you know how I get on… when things cool down.

Please do! I’ve started to become limited with my pudding options…
Frankly, at the moment, can’t beat fresh fruit and icecream (and/or yoghurt)

What’s a posset? 
It can be several things, curdled milk or cream (which is why it’s also a term for small baby spew) but even something that resembles syllabub or egg nog and Stella saying hers has a biscuit base makes me think it’s a bit cheesecakey.
There’s a cool one you can make with warm milk and ginger juice.

Oh, in that case I must have some. but is that small spew from a baby, or spew from a small baby. Either way it sounds delicious. 
In our neck of the woods from tomorrow we’ll lose +/ - 10 degrees so low 20s
Forecast the same for a couple of weeks

Alas when the small baby spews down the back of your shoulder as you are heading out of the door likely to be late for work the small spew goes an extraordinarily long way

Thanks Warren, local knowledge is GOOD. 
But should never be confused with a ‘possum’, things could go badly wrong…

My daughter in Melbourne’s local park is full of possums 
I always feel very sorry for those very different poor American (o) possums trundling about with their loads of babies clinging on to their backs.

Yes my daughter gets possums in her garden, drives her dogs wild trying to get out and get at them, same with raccoons.

Likened to The Exorcist at times or as my daughter when little used to say The Exhaustist.

Wozza is closer to you than we are. But we’re forecast to drop -13 degrees tomorrow and then continue like that, ie normal mid 20’s pleasant autumn days with cooler nights.

Just to say… I was planning making simple lemon posset… which is served in individual dishes…
but have found a recipe for lemon posset tarte… where the basic posset is put over a crushed biscuit base.
That recipe uses ginger biscuits but I plan to use speculoooos as I have them to hand.
whilst it might ressemble a cheesecake… if I recall the recipes correctly… a posset is quite different…

Key lemon pie

Well, it has lemon in it… so there is a vague ressemblance… 
Posset is so simple… lemon, cream, sugar…

Yes similar to key lime pie with a different citrus fruit.
If someone dishes me up a slice of key lemon/lime pie… I’d try it… but I won’t bother baking one… too many ingredients, too much sweetness and I don’t want to use my electric oven.
Posset and posset tarte … neither requires baking… just a few minutes, gently on the hob… then into the fridge. gosh, my mouth’s watering at the thought. I reckon this weekend will be my trial run…
