Scottish Cranachan!

Cranachan
Cranachan
In ye ol’ Scotland, the Scots eat Cranachan for dessert! There are many variations in existence now, but it usually consists of honey-whisked cream, raspberries and whisky. (Although the whisky can be omitted for ye young childr’n.) It might not sound like much, cream and raspberries, but boy does it taste good! Reminds you of ice-cream with berry chunks... but better! The honey gives the cream just the right amount of sweetness. If there’s nothing I hate more, its unsweetened cream in desserts!


Interestingly charms are placed into Cranachan at Halloween in Scotland, somewhat similar to the customary coins in English Christmas puddings. Although the only problem is, that if you do add charms, you have to make sure you don’t swallow any.. and hence you probably can’t eat as fast. But don’t worry there’s plenty to go around!

Cranachan

Ingredients: 2 tbsp rolled oats, 1 cup (250mL) double cream, 2 tbsp honey, 500g raspberries, 1 tbsp whisky (optional)

Steps: Put the rolled oats in a small pan and stir over low heat for 5 minutes or until lightly toasted. Remove from heat and leave to cool completely.

Using electric beaters, beat the cream in a small bowl for 2 minutes, then add the honey and whisky and beat until just combined. Fold the cooled toasted rolled oats into the cream mixture with a metal spoon.

Making Cranachan

Begin layering the raspberries and cream in six tall dessert glasses. Refrigerate for 2 hours before serving.
