Tips & Tricks

  • Toast the oats in a dry skillet over medium heat until golden brown for a more intense nutty flavor.

Serve the Edinburgh Fog chilled for the best experience. It can be enjoyed as a standalone dessert or as a luxurious ending to a Scottish-inspired meal.

Presentation advice

To enhance the presentation, use elegant glassware or dessert bowls to showcase the layers of cream, oats, and chocolate. Drizzle the honey in an artistic pattern and sprinkle a generous amount of grated dark chocolate on top for an enticing visual appeal.
