Scottish Raspberry Cranachan (Cream Crowdie)
Ingredients
- 250 g Oatmeal
- 50 g Honey
- 4 tablespoons Whisky
- 1 pint Double or Whipping Cream
- 500 g Raspberries
Instructions
- Toast the oatmeal in a frying pan until it reaches a nutty consistency. Leave to cool.
- Whip cream until it reaches soft peaks, but it still pliable.
- 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.
- Fill serving dishes and finish with some fruit on top. Serve immediately. If it is left too long, the oats will go soft.
