Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 50 g steel-cut oats
- 250 g greek yogurt
- 100 g raspberries
- 2 tbsp honey
- 50 ml whipping cream
- 1 tbsp whisky (optional)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
Toast the steel-cut oats in a dry skillet over medium heat for 4-5 minutes, stirring frequently, until they are golden and fragrant. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
In a mixing bowl, whisk the whipping cream until it forms soft peaks. Stir in the vanilla extract and, if desired, the whisky for a hint of traditional flavor.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the Greek yogurt until well blended, taking care not to deflate the cream.
Layer the cranachan in serving glasses: start with a layer of toasted oats, followed by a layer of the yogurt mixture, then a layer of fresh raspberries.
Drizzle a little honey over the raspberries, then repeat the layers until the glasses are full, finishing with a final sprinkle of toasted oats and a few raspberries on top.
Serve immediately with an extra drizzle of honey if desired, and enjoy this luxurious breakfast treat!
