Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 50 g Steel-cut oats
- 300 ml Whipping cream
- 2 tbsp Scottish whisky
- 3 tbsp Runny honey
- 200 g Raspberries (fresh)
- 1 tbsp Caster sugar
- 4 leaves Mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Spread the steel-cut oats evenly on a dry frying pan and toast over medium heat, stirring frequently, until golden and fragrant (about 3-5 minutes). Remove from heat and allow to cool.
In a mixing bowl, whip the cream until soft peaks form. Be careful not to overwhip.
Gently fold in the whisky and 2 tablespoons of the honey into the whipped cream. Taste and adjust the sweetness if needed.
In another bowl, mash half of the raspberries with the caster sugar using a fork to create a simple fruit purée.
In serving glasses or bowls, layer the dessert: Start with a spoonful of whipped cream, followed by a sprinkle of toasted oats, a dollop of raspberry purée, and a few whole raspberries. Repeat these layers until the ingredients are used up, finishing with a topping of toasted oats and whole raspberries.
Drizzle the remaining tablespoon of honey over the top of the desserts for a glossy finish.
Garnish each serving with a mint leaf (if using) before serving.
Serve immediately or chill in the refrigerator for up to 2 hours before serving for a colder, more refreshing treat.
