Treat your ingredients with care...

  • Raspberries — Choose ripe and juicy raspberries for the best flavor. Wash them gently and pat them dry before using.
  • Whisky — Use a good quality whisky that complements the sweetness of the honey and raspberries. Feel free to adjust the amount of whisky according to your preference.
  • Rolled oats — Toast the oats until they turn golden brown to enhance their nutty flavor. Keep an eye on them while toasting to prevent burning.

Tips & Tricks

  • For a twist, try adding a sprinkle of finely chopped toasted almonds or grated dark chocolate on top of the pudding.
  • If you prefer a sweeter pudding, you can add a teaspoon of sugar to the whipped cream.
  • Serve the pudding immediately after assembling to maintain the perfect balance of textures.

Serving advice

Serve the Traditional Scottish Cranachan Pudding chilled for a refreshing and delightful experience. Garnish with a fresh raspberry and a sprig of mint for an elegant touch.

Presentation advice

To create an appealing presentation, use clear glass bowls or glasses to showcase the beautiful layers of the pudding. Ensure that each layer is evenly distributed for an aesthetically pleasing dessert.
