How to Make Irish Flummery

  1. Toast 1/4 cup of slivered almonds and 1/4 cup of rolled oats in a dry pan over medium heat until lightly browned, stirring frequently to prevent burning (about 3-5 minutes). Set aside to cool.
  2. In a chilled bowl, whip 1 cup heavy cream until soft peaks form. Be careful not to overwhip.
  3. Gently warm 2 tablespoons of honey until it is pourable.
  4. In a separate bowl, gently fold together the warm honey, 1 tablespoon of Irish whiskey (optional), half of the toasted almond and oat mixture, and the juice of 1/2 lemon.
  5. Carefully fold the honey mixture into the whipped cream until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. If using, gently fold in 1/2 cup of fresh berries (raspberries or blueberries recommended).
  7. Spoon the flummery into individual glasses or dessert dishes.
  8. Sprinkle the remaining toasted almond and oat mixture and berries (if using) over the top.
  9. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld and the dessert to chill.
