This is the vegan version of one of my favourite desserts, perfect for a light end to a delicious lunch or dinner. The combination of creamy lemon pudding with raspberries and sweet, crumbly shortbread biscuits perfect for dipping is a guaranteed hit.
Lemon Posset with Shortbread
Serves 4
Ingredients
For the lemon possets:
600g silken tofu
zest and juice of 2 lemons
120ml agave nectar
4 tbsp coconut oil, melted
1 tsp vanilla extract
a few fresh raspberries, to serve
1 tbsp icing sugar, to serve
For the shortbread biscuits:
200g dairy-free butter
125g icing sugar
310g plain flour
1 tbsp cornflour mixed with 2 tbsp cold water
2 tsp vanilla extract
1 tbsp dairy-free milk, if needed
Method
For the shortbread biscuits:
1. Pre-heat the oven to 180C. Grease and line two baking trays with baking paper.
2. Mix the butter and icing sugar together in a large bowl. Add the plain flour, cornflour and vanilla extract, mix well.
3. If the mixture is too stiff, add a little milk to thin it out until you have a soft but firm mixture.
4. Transfer the mixture to a piping bag with a large star nozzle, then pipe small circular spirals onto the baking trays. Starting from the outside, working your way in.
5. Bake for 12-15 minutes until lightly golden. Leave in the tin to cool completely or they will break.
For the lemon possets:
1. Blend the tofu, lemon zest and juice, agave nectar, coconut oil and vanilla extract together in a food processor until smooth.
2. Divide the mixture equally between 4 glasses and chill for at least an hour or overnight if possible.
3. To serve, top with fresh raspberries, a sprinkling of icing sugar and 2 shortbread biscuits.
