Traditional Scottish cranachan recipe
- 1 tbsp medium oatmeal
- 75 g (2.6oz) fresh raspberries
- 1 tsp caster sugar (adjust to taste)
- 75 ml (2.6fl oz) double cream
- 1 tbsp honey
- 25 ml (0.9fl oz) Scottish whisky
- 1 small handful mint leaves, to garnish
- To toast the oatmeal, spread out on a baking sheet and grill until it smells rich and nutty.
- Use your sense of smell to tell you when nutty enough.
- Keep a close eye on your oatmeal to make sure it doesn't burn.
- Make a raspberry puree by crushing half the fruit and sieving.
- Sweeten to taste with a little caster sugar.
- Whisk the Double Cream until just set, stir in the honey and whisky, trying not to overwhip the cream.
- Taste and add more of either if you feel the need.
- There should be a sweet hint from the honey and a kick from the whisky.
- Stir in the oatmeal and whisk lightly until the mixture is just firm.
- Alternate the cream and some of the remaining whole raspberries and raspberry puree into a glass.
- Allow to chill.
- Garnish with whole fresh raspberries and mint leaves and serve.
