Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons pinhead oats (or steel-cut oats)
- 300 ml whipping cream (heavy cream)
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon Scotch whisky (optional)
- 150 grams fresh raspberries
- 1 teaspoon powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons toasted almond flakes or hazelnuts (optional, for garnish)
- 4 leaves mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a dry skillet over medium heat, toast the pinhead oats for about 4-5 minutes, stirring frequently, until they are golden and fragrant. Remove from heat and let them cool completely.
In a large mixing bowl, whip the cream until it forms soft peaks. Be careful not to overbeat.
Gently fold in the honey and optional Scotch whisky into the whipped cream. Taste and adjust the sweetness to your preference.
Set aside a few raspberries for garnish, and mash the remaining raspberries in a small bowl with the powdered sugar to create a light raspberry puree.
To assemble, layer the dessert in serving glasses or bowls. Start with a spoonful of the cream mixture, followed by a layer of mashed raspberries, and a sprinkle of toasted oats. Repeat the layers until the glasses are filled, finishing with a layer of cream on top.
Garnish each serving with a few whole raspberries, a sprinkle of toasted oats, toasted almond flakes or hazelnuts if using, and a mint leaf for a pop of color.
Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving to let the flavors meld together. Serve cold and enjoy!
