Description

Cranachan is a Scottish pudding recipe perfect for Burns Night. It comprises layers of whipped cream, raspberry sauce and oats.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 17g (3 tbsp) rolled oats
  • 300g (2 cups) raspberries, washed
  • 5g (1 tsp) caster sugar
  • 375ml (1 1/2 cups) double cream
  • 30ml (2 tbsp) honey
  • 30ml (2 tbsp) whisky

Instructions

  1. For the toasted oats: Line a roasting tray with baking parchment.
  2. Sprinkle the oats in a single layer onto the lined baking tray.
  3. Place under a medium hot grill for 3-5 minutes, or until the oats are crunchy, golden and fills the air with a nutty aroma.
  4. Remove from heat and allow to cool.
  5. For the raspberry sauce: Squeeze half of the raspberries through a sieve into a bowl underneath.
  6. Sweeten with caster sugar. Set aside.
  7. For the flavoured cream: Whisk the double cream until soft peaks form. Do not over whip! Fold in whisky and honey. Taste and adjust the quantities of honey and whisky if necessary.
  8. Assembling the dessert: Whisk in the toasted oats, leaving a bit aside for decoration.
  9. Layer the cream and raspberry sauce in individual glasses or containers, alternating the layers.
  10. Top with leftover raspberries and oats. Serve immediately. Enjoy!

Notes

  • You can adjust the amount of sugar used in the raspberry sauce to your desired taste. More or less - your choice!
  • Keep a lookout for artisan honey from Scotland. Flavours such as heather or lavender will be good additions.
  • You can add more or less whisky to the cream according to your liking.
  • If you find that you have plenty of double cream leftover after this recipe, don't let it go to waste. Try some of my other double cream recipes!
