Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 50 grams Steel-cut oats
- 250 milliliters Whipping cream
- 3 tablespoons Honey
- 1 tablespoon Irish whiskey (optional)
- 0.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 100 grams Berries (e.g., raspberries, blackberries, or strawberries) for garnish
- 1 pinch Pinch of salt
Instructions
In a dry skillet, toast the steel-cut oats over medium heat for 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently until they are golden brown and smell nutty. Be careful not to burn them. Set the oats aside to cool.
In a mixing bowl, combine the whipping cream, honey, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. If you're using Irish whiskey, add it here. Whip the cream using a hand mixer or whisk until soft peaks form.
Fold the cooled toasted oats gently into the whipped cream mixture, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
Divide the mixture into four serving glasses or bowls. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the dessert to chill.
Before serving, garnish each portion with fresh berries for a pop of color and added sweetness.
Serve chilled and enjoy your authentic Irish Curach!
