Orange Vanilla Bean Posset

Orange and vanilla bean are a perfect match. This silky Orange Vanilla Bean Posset is simple, elegant, and topped with whipped vanilla bean cream and candied orange. It's a great make-ahead dessert that feels elevated without a ton of effort.

Ingredients

USMetric

2 cups heavy cream

⅔ cup granulated sugar

2 tbsp orange zest from one orange

6 tbsp orange juice

1 tbsp Madagascar Bourbon Pure Vanilla Bean Paste

Softly whipped cream and candied orange for garnish

Directions

Have a 2-cup measuring cup and 6 small ramekins or dessert cups set aside.

In a medium saucepan, combine the cream, sugar, and orange zest. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then reduce to a simmer.

Stir frequently and let it simmer for about 8–12 minutes until the mixture reduces to exactly 2 cups. As the liquid starts to reduce, you can use the 2-cup measuring cup to check whether you have reduced the mixture enough.

Once reduced, pour the mixture into the measuring cup and stir in the orange juice and vanilla bean paste.

Strain the mixture into a bowl for a smooth texture, then divide evenly among the ramekins.

Chill in the fridge for at least 3 hours (or overnight) to set.
Top with some softly whipped cream with a touch of vanilla bean paste, candied orange slices and enjoy!
