Cranachan - The Most Scottish Desert Ever

  • A simple dessert involving oats, cream, raspberries, honey and whisky. Foolproof and can be whipped up easily and even stored in the fridge until you serve it, ta-dah!
    Recipe sourced from BBC Good Food:
    www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/c...
    You can adapt, change and modify the recipe to your heart's content. You're not baking, you're just throwing stuff together. So throw together what you want. I think some nice milk chocolate shavings would go well in the cream, but this dish blew out my daily fat intake limit in one go.
    Enjoy!

    To measure the honey: Press the back of your spoon into the whipped cream. Then fill the depression you made with honey. No wasted honey stuck to the spoon! This is especially useful with larger measures of sticky substances.

    This was one of the first things I learned to make when I moved to Scotland from the US. Scotch breath was the first. My neighbour taught me a few Scottish recipes, Clootie Dumplings was another desert, along with Dundee cake and my hubby’s all time favourite, sticky toffee pudding. And in exchange for teaching me Traditional Scottish recipes, I began teaching her some New England recipes. It was so much fun sharing.
    The first bbq I was invited to over here, I said I would bring my homemade baked beans. I got funny looks and asked why on Earth I would make homemade baked beans when you could buy them cheaply in a can. Lol my Scottish hubby laughed and said you will see why tomorrow. That was 28 years ago…and every get together, I am always asked to bring my Boston baked beans lol. No matter how many times I share the recipe and tell them how easy it is, it is still requested. It blew their mind when I added cheddar cheese to my apple pie crust lol. When I brought American Strawberry shortcakes everyone was asking for the recipe. Perthshire in Scotland produces the worlds best raspberries and strawberries. When my American family come over, Cranachan is the dessert most often requested, no matter what time f year. I have played around as I am not keen on Scottish whiskey…well whiskey from anywhere really. But I have played around as the recipe is so adaptable and forgiving and I really enjoy it with a bramble whiskey liquor or a Heather whiskey liquor. I am so looking forward to summer and having some lovely cranachan!

    I think traditionally it used crowdie- some kind of cream cheese. I’ve made it with crème fraîche and double cream with that in mind. Mix in whisky into cream & sometime raspberry jam if I’m in the mood. Layer in glass with raspberry & honey granola, raspberries & raspberry couli if I’m going crazy. Firming up in the fridge is a good plan!

    Growing up we would go to the Gaelic Club held in the Canadian-American club in Massachusetts. At the end of the night, they often had a tea and serve something very similar. It was homemade whipped cream and oats mixed together. I don't know if they toasted them or not. It was my favorite. I'm going to try this way of making it. Your video brought back many fond memories of the music and fellowship I associate with this dish.

    • @gregislate
      @gregislate  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I assume they'd be called rolled oats if you're in North America. Steel cut wouldn't absorb enough cream in time and would likely still be hard/dense.
      Don't use quick cook or minute oats for the exact opposite reason. It would likely turn the cream into a paste if they didn't burn first.
