Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 240 ml heavy whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon Scotch whisky
- 3 tablespoons orange marmalade
- 1 teaspoon finely grated orange zest
- 50 grams fresh raspberries (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Chill the mixing bowl and whisk or beaters in the refrigerator for about 10 minutes before beginning (this helps the cream whip faster).
In the chilled bowl, pour the heavy whipping cream and beat with a whisk or electric mixer on medium speed until soft peaks form.
Add the honey and Scotch whisky to the whipped cream and continue to whisk gently until incorporated. Be careful not to over-whip, as the cream can turn grainy.
Fold in the orange marmalade and finely grated orange zest using a spatula, ensuring the mixture stays light and airy.
Spoon the cream mixture into serving glasses or bowls and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Before serving, garnish with fresh raspberries (if desired) and a small drizzle of honey for extra sweetness.
Serve chilled and enjoy this delightful Scottish dessert!
