Try This— 4 Ingredient Honey Posset (AKA The Easiest, Most Sophisticated Dessert You’ll Ever Make)

I have a love affair with crème brûlée. Every time I go to fancy restaurant I can’t help but order this delicious dessert. Making it at home has always been so intimidating to me though. The idea of using a torch in the kitchen freaks me out just a little bit, and using the broiler just doesn’t feel right. In my infinite search to satiate my sweet tooth, I came across this amazing recipe that brings me all the joy of crème brûlée without the kitchen fire.

You guys, honey posset is pretty much the easiest dessert you’ll ever make. It’s just 4 ingredients, but the pay off is to die for. This recipe makes about 6-8 servings so it’s the perfect dessert for entertaining. You absolutely must try this!!!
