This is a classic Scottish dessert that probably has as many variations as there are cooks who make it (it's also known as 'Cream Crowdie'). The basis, however, is toasted oats with cream, fresh berries and a splash of whisky.
Ingredients:
40g rolled oats
240ml double cream
30g icing sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
125g fresh berries
1 tbsp Scotch Whisky (or Drambuie)
4 fresh mint leaves, to garnish
Method:
Spread the oats in a thin layer on a baking tray and palace in an oven pre-heated to 180°C (350°F/Gas Mark 4). Toast for about 10 minutes or until nut brown then take out of the oven and set aside to cool.
Meanwhile whip the cream into just firm peaks. Gently fold-in the icing sugar, vanilla and toasted oats then spoon into 4 large glasses and top with the fresh fruit. Drizzle the whisky or Drambuie over the top then top with a fresh mint leaf and serve.
