Cranachan - A Traditional Scottish Dessert
There is one Scottish dessert you have to try - Cranachan. (Pronounce: kran-e-ken)
It’s the perfect summer treat with a kick and super quick to whip up as well.
This recipe is inspired by the classic version but lighter due to the skyr.
You can use fresh or frozen raspberries.
Also, feel free to play around with the amount of whisky :)
Enjoy!

100ml whipping cream
350g skyr
50g oats

Method
Put the oats in a frying pan and toast them on a medium heat. Stir occasionally until lightly browned and nutty smelling.
In a large bowl, whip the whipping cream.

Set three tall glasses or tumblers on a tray.
Put a spoonful of oats on the base of each glass.
Add two spoons of the cream.

Repeat the layers starting with the whipping cream.
Store in the fridge, ideally overnight to enhance the flavours.
