Miss Hudson's Burns Night Recipe

Raspberry and Oat Cranachan

This traditional Scottish dessert is a delicious combination of toasted oats, raspberries, honey, whipped cream and a dash of whisky.

Scotland’s answer to Eton Mess is simple to put together making a great sweet treat for celebrating Burns Night.

Ingredients

• 30g oats
• 300g raspberries
• Caster sugar
• 350ml cream
• 30g honey
• 2-3 tbsp of whisky (omit when making for children)

Makes 6 portions

Method:

1. To toast the oats, spread them out on a baking sheet and bake until golden brown.
2. Make a raspberry purée by crushing half the fruit and sieving.  Sweeten this with a little caster sugar.  Whisk the double cream until just set and stir in the honey and whisky trying not to over-whip the cream.
3. 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 serving bowl or glass.  Allow to chill slightly before eating.
