Toast the oats in a dry skillet over medium heat until they are golden brown and smell nutty, about 3-5 minutes. Stir frequently to prevent burning. Once toasted, set aside to cool completely.
In a mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream until it forms soft peaks. Be careful not to overwhip.
Add the sugar, honey, and whiskey to the whipped cream, and gently fold until evenly combined.
Layer the dessert in serving glasses or bowls. Start with a layer of the toasted oats at the bottom, followed by a spoonful of whipped cream mixture, and a handful of fresh raspberries. Repeat the layers until the glasses are filled, ending with a dollop of cream on top.
Garnish each serving with a sprinkle of toasted oats, a few raspberries, and a mint leaf if desired.
Chill the Cream Crowdie in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve cold, and enjoy this delightful and traditional Scottish dessert!
