Cranachan is a traditional Scottish dessert made with raspberries and oats. This one has an added honeycomb twist, too!

Preparation time: 20min
Serves: 6

Ingredients for Honeycomb Crunch Cranachan:

  • 50g porridge oats
  • 300g raspberries, thawed if frozen
  • 450ml whipping cream
  • 50g honeycomb toffee, broken into small pieces
  • 2tbsp whisky (optional)

To garnish:

  • Mint sprigs

To make Honeycomb Crunch Cranachan:

  1. Preheat the grill. Sprinkle the oats onto a baking sheet and toast them until lightly browned, turning occasionally. Take care, as they can soon burn! Cool.
  2. Reserve 6 raspberries for decoration, then lightly crush the remainder. Share half of them between 6 serving glasses.
  3. Whip the cream in a large chilled bowl until it holds its shape, then gently fold in the honeycomb toffee, toasted oats and remaining raspberries. Fold the whisky through, if using.
  4. Spoon the mixture into the glasses. Serve, decorated with the reserved raspberries and mint sprigs.
