Cranachan / Athol Brose

Post by Mac »

Cranachan is a most enjoyable and easy to make Scottish classical dessert. This particular dessert uses the most typical ingredients to a Scottish sweet, raspberries, oats, cream, honey and whiskey. Sometimes called a “Cream Crowdie.”

Ingredients:

6Tbl Medium Oatmeal
420ml Double Cream
45ml Whiskey
70ml Honey
320g Raspberries

Method:

Lightly toast the oatmeal until golden brown in a dry pan. Mix the honey and whiskey separately in a small bowl. Beat the double cream to a stiff peak and load into a piping bag with a round nozzle. Pipe a round of cream into serving glasses. Layer with some raspberries and then oats. Spoon whiskey honey mixture on next and then repeat layering steps. Finish by garnishing top layer with remaining raspberries.

(serves 4-6)

If your not too keen on the oatmeal try this recipe for Athol Brose

3 tbs. oatmeal, heaped
Scotch whisky to make up 4 c. (2 pt.)
about 2 cups water
2 tbs. liquid heather honey

Put oatmeal into bowl, mix with water to create thick paste.
Let stand for 1/2 hour.

In the next step, the aim is to save the liquid; not the oatmeal!

Strain liquid through fine strainer into bowl.
Press with back of spoon to extract all liquid, throw away oatmeal.
Mix liquid with honey, stir with silver spoon until well-blended.
Pour into quart bottle, fill up with Scotch whisky, cork tightly.

Always shake before using.... Image
