Method

  1. 1

    Chill. Beat together heavy cream, sugar, plus a pinch of salt in a mid-sized saucepan. Cook over a mid-sized flame, mixing often, till sugar is dissolved, around 5 minutes. Leave till it is cold a little. Beat in lime juice and zest. Tip cream mixture in glasses or ramekins, cover with cling film, and chill till possets are set, at least 4 hours plus preferably overnight. Toss together mango and mint in a mid-sized bowl. Spoon mango upon top of possets, mound dollops of whipped cream upon top, plus eat at once.
