Directions
Step 1

Step 3
3. Gently fold the whisky and honey into the whipped cream until combined. Taste the mixture and adjust the whisky or honey to your preference.
Step 4
4. Lightly mash half the raspberries in a separate bowl with the powdered sugar to create a simple raspberry compote. Leave the remaining raspberries whole for layering.
Step 5
5. To assemble the cranachan, take four serving glasses or bowls and layer the ingredients. Start with a spoonful of the whipped cream mixture, followed by a layer of raspberries and a sprinkling of toasted oats. Repeat the layers until all the ingredients are used, finishing with a dollop of cream and a sprinkle of oats on top.
