Curdled milk, mixed with beer....mmmmm! </span></span><br /><span style="background-color: white; color: #252525; font-size: 18px; line-height: 28px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #252525; font-size: 18px; line-height: 28px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Not feeling it? Nah, me either. That's just disgusting. Thankfully, in modern times, a posset is a cream based pudding usually flavored with lemon. It's probably the easiest, and tastiest, dessert you can throw together in just minutes, and still impress your guests. It's the perfect, light ending to a special meal. Trust me. (And no curdled milk involved ~ I pinky swear). </span></span><br /><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: inherit;">Lemon & Lime Posset</span><br /><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span><br /><div class="section clrfix ingredients" style="clear: left;
