Ingredients
- 50 grams Steel-cut oats
- 250 milliliters Whipping cream
- 3 tablespoons Honey
- 1 tablespoon Irish whiskey (optional)
- 0.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 100 grams Berries (e.g., raspberries, blackberries, or strawberries) for garnish
- 1 pinch Pinch of salt
Directions
Step 1
In a dry skillet, toast the steel-cut oats over medium heat for 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently until they are golden brown and smell nutty. Be careful not to burn them. Set the oats aside to cool.
Step 2
In a mixing bowl, combine the whipping cream, honey, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. If you're using Irish whiskey, add it here. Whip the cream using a hand mixer or whisk until soft peaks form.
Step 3
Fold the cooled toasted oats gently into the whipped cream mixture, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
Step 4
Divide the mixture into four serving glasses or bowls. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the dessert to chill.
Step 5
Before serving, garnish each portion with fresh berries for a pop of color and added sweetness.
Step 6
Serve chilled and enjoy your authentic Irish Curach!
