Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 50 grams rolled oats
- 300 milliliters double cream (heavy cream)
- 2 tablespoons Scotch whisky
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 250 grams fresh raspberries
- 1 teaspoon caster sugar (optional, for macerating raspberries)
Instructions
1. Toast the rolled oats in a dry frying pan over medium heat, stirring regularly, for about 4-5 minutes or until they turn golden and smell nutty. Remove them from the heat and allow them to cool completely.
2. If desired, macerate the raspberries: Set aside a few raspberries for garnish. In a small bowl, gently mash the remaining raspberries with a fork and sprinkle with caster sugar. Set aside for 10 minutes to release their juices.
3. In a large mixing bowl, whip the double cream until it forms soft peaks. Be careful not to overwhip the cream.
4. Gently fold in the Scotch whisky and honey into the whipped cream. Taste and adjust sweetness or whisky quantity as desired.
5. Layer the dessert in serving glasses: Start with a spoonful of the whipped cream mixture at the base, followed by a layer of macerated raspberries and a sprinkle of toasted oats. Repeat the layers until the glasses are filled, finishing with a dollop of cream on top.
6. Garnish with the reserved whole raspberries and a final sprinkle of toasted oats for presentation.
7. Serve immediately and enjoy your delightful Cranachan with Raspberries!
