Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 6 ounces (170 grams) heavy cream
- 1/2 cup (100 grams) sugar
- 1 large lemon (for 5 tablespoons juice and zest)
Garnish:
- Fresh berries or lemon slices
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to the specified temperature and line a muffin tin with paper liners, ensuring the pan is properly prepared for baking.
- Sift together the dry ingredients – flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt – creating a smooth, uniform mixture that will prevent lumps in the final muffins.
- In a separate large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs until they become light and frothy, then gradually incorporate the sugar, creating a smooth and slightly pale mixture.
- Carefully fold the melted butter and vegetable oil into the egg mixture, stirring gently to maintain the airiness of the batter and ensure even distribution of fats.
- Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring with minimal strokes to prevent overmixing, which can lead to tough muffins.
- Gently fold in the chocolate chips and chunks, distributing them evenly throughout the batter to ensure each muffin will have delightful chocolate bursts.
- Divide the batter carefully among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full to allow room for rising during baking.
- Sprinkle additional chocolate chips on top of each muffin for an extra indulgent touch and visual appeal.
- Bake in the preheated oven, rotating the pan halfway through to ensure even browning and consistent baking.
- Remove from the oven when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs, indicating perfect moisture and doneness.
- Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely, preventing soggy bottoms and maintaining their light texture.
Notes
- Lemon Zest Technique: Gently scrape only the yellow part of the lemon peel to avoid bitter white pith, which can make your dessert taste harsh.
- Cream Selection: Use high-fat heavy cream for a richer, smoother posset that sets perfectly with a luxurious texture.
- Temperature Control: Watch the cream mixture carefully while boiling to prevent scorching, stirring consistently to maintain smooth consistency.
- Make-Ahead Magic: Prepare posset a day in advance for deeper flavor development and stress-free entertaining, allowing it to chill overnight.
