Ingredients
- 150 ml double cream
- 150 ml Greek yogurt
- 250 g raspberries
- 70 g oats
- 1 tbsp caster sugar
- 2 tbsp honey
- 2 tbsp whisky optional
- 1 tsp cinnamon optional
Instructions
- First, lightly toast the oats for 5-10 mins, either in a dry frying pan or under the grill. I added a sprinkling of cinnamon to mine for extra flavor.
- Put 2/3 of the raspberries into a bowl and sprinkle the caster sugar over them. This helps to bring out the juices and make a syrup. Leave to rest.
- Whisk together the cream and yoghurt until it is thick and forms stiff peaks.
- Stir in the honey and whisky and half of the oats.
- Stir the raspberries in the bowl until they begin to break down. Stop while there are still some whole raspberries.
- Stir the raspberries into the cream mixture until just combined.
- In glasses/pots, sprinkle some oats and a couple of whole raspberries. Layer with the cream mixture, then add another layer of oats and raspberries. Continue until the glasses are full and top with raspberries.
- Refrigerate before serving, or freeze to make an ice-cream terrine.
Notes
- On a gluten-free note: oats do not naturally contain gluten so are safe to eat, however, they can be easily contaminated by other grains so it is important to buy oats certified as gluten-free if you are following a gluten-free diet.
- Remember that cranachan is a versatile dessert, and you can get creative with your ingredients to suit your preferences. Whether you stick to the classic recipe or try one of these variations, this is sure to be a delightful treat.
