Ingredients

  • 240 ml heavy whipping cream
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon Scotch whisky
  • 3 tablespoons orange marmalade
  • 1 teaspoon finely grated orange zest
  • 50 grams fresh raspberries (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Chill the mixing bowl and whisk or beaters in the refrigerator for about 10 minutes before beginning (this helps the cream whip faster).

Step 2

In the chilled bowl, pour the heavy whipping cream and beat with a whisk or electric mixer on medium speed until soft peaks form.

Step 3

Add the honey and Scotch whisky to the whipped cream and continue to whisk gently until incorporated. Be careful not to over-whip, as the cream can turn grainy.

Step 4

Fold in the orange marmalade and finely grated orange zest using a spatula, ensuring the mixture stays light and airy.

Step 5

Spoon the cream mixture into serving glasses or bowls and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 6

Before serving, garnish with fresh raspberries (if desired) and a small drizzle of honey for extra sweetness.

Step 7

Serve chilled and enjoy this delightful Scottish dessert!
