Food Puddings

Scottish Raspberry Cranachan (Cream Crowdie)

Raspberry Cranachan is the traditional Scottish dish.  It’s one that I do like, but not too often with the calorie count in it.

Cranachan

It’s traditional, it’s Scottish and with raspberries it can be quite tart.   You can reduce the sweetness of the added sugar by using more fruit and leaving out the honey.  Some people prefer much less oatmeal in their cranachan.  Add it slowly until you have enough for you.

Recipe type: Dessert
Serves: 6
Ingredients
  • 250g Oatmeal
  • 50g Honey
  • 4 tablespoons Whisky
  • 1 pint Double or Whipping Cream
  • 500g Raspberries
Instructions
  1. Toast the oatmeal in a frying pan until it reaches a nutty consistency. Leave to cool.
  2. Whip cream until it reaches soft peaks, but it still pliable.
  3. Fold the oatmeal, half the raspberries, honey and whisky into the cream. If you whip it in, the consistency will not be light and fluffy.
  4. Fill serving dishes and finish with some fruit on top. Serve immediately. If it is left too long, the oats will go soft.

      Good spot. It’s an auto fill recipe section, so I’ve clicked on heaped rather than simply tablespoon.

    For me without whisky ,it\’s less scottish but I use Marscapone instead of cream \’cos I live in France and cream\’s not the same. i\’m also gonna try maple syrup instead of honey……..

      Mascapone would do it too. I suspect my kids might prefer a version with soft cheese instead of cream.

    Love oatmeal! I recently posted about skirlie which is a real fave of mine. I’ve never quite got behind the whisky in cranachan – I like it with a splash of fruit juice instead…

      The spalsh of fruit would do pretty well too. I don’t put whisky in the kids ones and I only ever make this if someone asks for it, so otherwise it would be more like a crumble I’d usually do.

      I’d say you could substitute custard, angel delight and it would have the same sort of effect.

A wee note, and I am so sorry I have to add this to my website.

I sincerely thank the huge amount of readers that show up weekly to read my wee blog, and this note doesn’t apply to the majority of you.

I’m not perfect, and this website is free to browse, read, and use my recipes.  It’s a personal website, not a big business.  Sometimes I make mistakes.  If you find one, I’d like you to let me know so I can fix it, but please don’t call me names.

Also, please don’t use my photographs anywhere else, as I have taken most of them myself.  With some photographs, I’ve paid to be able to use them or been given the right to use them by their owners.
