These posset-like lemon creams have a dash of brandy and sweet white wine, making them a delicious treat to cleanse the palate after the Christmas meal.

Stir to mix and leave in the fridge overnight to steep. The next day, beat the egg whites to soft peak. Now add the cream to the brandy mixture, whisking the whole until it starts to peak. Be careful not to overwhisk! Fold in the egg white. To serve, pile in soft folds into small glasses.
