CREAM CROWDIE (CRANACHAN) image

Categories     Dessert

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 tbsp oatmeal
50g light brown sugar
1 tbsp clear honey (use heather honey for a traditional Scottish dish)
wee dram of whisky (use your judgment, although a few tbsp will suffice, or substitute a few drops of vanilla essence for a 'virgin' cranachan)
300ml double cream, chilled
200g fresh raspberries
mint leaves to garnish

Steps:

  • Scatter the oatmeal and sugar evenly over a roasting tin and toast under the grill. Turn occasionally to brown evenly. Allow to cool completely. Add the honey and whisky to the double cream and whisk until thick. Fold in most of the toasted oatmeal, reserving a handful for garnish. Spoon a layer of the mixture into glass serving dishes. Add a layer of raspberries (reserve some for decoration) and top with a further layer of cream. Decorate with the reserved raspberries and oatmeal and a sprig of mint. Variation: In Scotland, the traditional way to eat cranachan is to place all the individual ingredients on the table and allow the guests to build their own pudding to taste. For a richer texture, whip 150ml double cream to stiff peaks then fold in 150ml mascarpone or crowdie cheese. Feel free to drizzle over another shot of whisky, Glayva or Drambuie.

I'm not a big fan of crowdie, but I really enjoyed this cranachan. The raspberries and toasted oats helped to balance out the flavor of the crowdie.

This cranachan is a great way to use up leftover raspberries. It's also a very versatile dessert. You can add other fruits, nuts, or spices to taste.

I've tried many cranachan recipes over the years, but this one is by far the best. The cream crowdie is so smooth and creamy, and the raspberries add a lovely tartness. The toasted oats give it a nice crunch. I will definitely be making this again!
