Cranachan

This is a lovely Scottish desert, if you remember I serve it when I had my Burns party which you can read about here. I thought I'd share the recipe today as it would also make a great desert for a Valentines meal! 

Ingredients:

• 2 tbsp medium oatmeal
• 300g fresh British raspberries
• a little caster sugar
• 350ml double cream 
• 2 tbsp honey
• 2-3 tbsp whisky, to taste
• Method
• To toast the oatmeal, spread it out on a baking sheet and grill until it smells rich and nutty. Let it cool
• Make a raspberry purée by crushing half the fruit and sieving. Sweeten this to taste with a little caster sugar. 
• Whisk the double cream until just set, and stir in the honey and whisky, try not to over-whip the cream. Taste the mix and add more of either if you feel the need.
• Stir in the oatmeal and whisk lightly until the mixture is just firm. 
• Alternate layers of the cream with the remaining whole raspberries and purée in 4 serving dishes, I used wine glasses. Pop in fridge to chill
• 
• I got the recipe from here

Happy Valentines Day!
