How to Make Cranachan Scottish Soft Fruit Brose

  1. Preheat your broiler. In a small oven-safe bowl, toast 1/2 cup of rolled oats under the broiler, stirring frequently with a spoon or spatula, until golden brown (about 3-5 minutes). Watch carefully to prevent burning.
  2. Remove the oats from the broiler and let them cool completely.
  3. In a large bowl, whip 2 cups of heavy cream with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form. Gently fold in 2 tablespoons of honey and 1 tablespoon of Scotch whisky (optional). Then, gently fold in the cooled toasted oats.
  4. Layer 2 cups of fresh raspberries and the cream mixture in four tall glasses or dessert dishes. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld.
  5. Before serving, let the Cranachan sit at room temperature for 30 minutes to soften slightly. Garnish with a few fresh raspberries and a drizzle of honey (optional) and serve immediately.
