Whether served chilled or at room temperature, this easy yet impressive dessert is sure to captivate your taste buds and dazzle your guests.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the rolled oats and toast them, stirring frequently, for about 3-5 minutes or until they are golden and fragrant. Remove from heat and let cool completely.
In a medium-sized bowl, whip the double cream until soft peaks form, using a whisk or an electric mixer.
Gently fold the Greek yogurt into the whipped cream until well combined.
Drizzle in the honey, and if using, stir in the whisky. Mix gently to ensure an even texture and flavor.
In a small bowl, mash half of the raspberries with the teaspoon of sugar to create a textured raspberry sauce. Leave the remaining raspberries whole for layering.
To assemble, layer the dessert in serving glasses or bowls. Start with a layer of whipped cream mixture, then a layer of raspberry sauce, a layer of whole raspberries, and a sprinkle of toasted oats. Repeat the layers as desired, finishing with a dollop of cream and a sprinkle of oats on top.
Garnish with a few whole raspberries and mint leaves, if desired.
Serve immediately or chill in the refrigerator for up to 2 hours before serving for a slightly firmer texture.
