Today I'd like to share a recipe for a simple dessert for all whisky lovers! Cranachan, a traditional Scottish dessert, is a delicious combination of curd cheese, raspberries, honey and, of course, whisky.
Traditionally, cranachan was served during end of harvest feasts. People would sit at a table covered with bowls of individual ingredients; everyone would assemble their own cranachan using favourite proportions. Not just a delicious, but also joyous affair!
You'll find the list of ingredients, method and approximate nutritional value below.

- 75 g rolled oats
- 230 g raspberries + some for decoration
- 200 ml whipping cream
- 150 g full fat curd cheese - or Scottish crowdie
- 50 g honey
- 15 ml whisky
Method
- Put 75 g rolled oats into a hot pan and roast them for a few minutes, stirring constantly, until they release a faint, pleasant, nutty aroma. Take ready oats off heat and transfer them to a plate to stop roasting process and cool them down a bit.
- Crush 230 g raspberries with a fork to get a sauce with large pieces of fruit.
- Pour 200 ml cold whipping cream into a bowl and add 150 g crushed, full fat curd cheese, 50 g honey and 1 tbsp whisky. Mix them together until a thick cheese mixture forms. Add more honey or whisky to taste if required.
- Once you get a desired consistency, add 80% of roasted oats and fold them in with a spatula.
- Put a heaped tbsp of cheese mixture into each of four 200 ml glasses. Put crushed raspberries onto cheese, cover them with the next later of cheese and continue until you fill a glass.
- Scatter some reserved roasted oats on top of the final cheese layer. Decorate each dessert with some extra raspberries and honey.
- Enjoy!
