Scottish Cranachan Recipe
Ingredients
Method
- In a heavy based pan, toast the oats until they release a pleasant nutty flavour and turn a light brown colour. Set to the side.
- In a bowl whisk your double cream until soft peaks form. Make sure these aren’t too stiff as the mixture will go thick and ruin the dish.
- Fold in your honey, oats, whisky and raspberry jam so that a marble effect forms. Set aside.
- Take a few Raspberry & White Chocolate Shortbread biscuits and place in a freezer bag. Seal the end and crush with a rolling pin until the biscuit breaks up into a rubble-like texture.
- To serve, place a small amount of the shortbread rubble in the base of each glass. Layer with the creamy mixture and repeat until the glass is full.
- To garnish, you can top with some extra toasted oats, or a little extra white chocolate for a luxurious edge.
- Enjoy.
