Recipe #119 - Cranachan I hand whipped the cream because I don’t own a mixer…my arm is still on fire. I’m really pleased with how this one came out! Also pleased with the fact that I was able to reuse some things from past recipes. I used the cups and spoons from my chocolate mayhem recipe to help with assembly, the oats from my scotch pies and the brandy from my black bun recipe. Always nice when that works out. This recipe called for “folding” the toasted oats into the cream and I couldn’t stop thinking about that scene from Schitt’s Creek where they argue about what folding means. You wouldn’t know it from looking at it but every layer of this thing has booze. Both the raspberry layers and the cream layers have brandy in them. I don’t drink because I don’t like the taste of alcohol, but I feel it was subtle enough here to work for me. I’m sure you could make this alcohol free as well, but it would be pretty plain if you did. The toasted oats were probably the most “traditional” part of this dish and I feel like they were the surprise MVP. They helped hold the layers together and gave a nice little crunch to each bite. Recipe:Here is my source -1 1/3 cups oats-1/3 cup whisky (I used brandy instead)-2 cups of fresh raspberries-3 Tbsp whisky-3 Tbsp honey-2 tsp sugar-2 cups of heavy whipping cream -- source link
