Simple steps to make Scottish Cranachan at home

Now let's find out about Scottish Cranachan, shall we? The simple steps that one can use while making this dessert.

Of course, you need to start with gathering the ingredients. Then heat a skillet on medium heat such that the surface turns out but not equivalent to burning because we don't want our dessert to be churned. Now stir the oats and allow them to acquire a nice toasty texture. Soon this will begin to change color. We are looking for a toasty texture so this is important that you roast the oats well. But that does not mean you end up doing it for so long that the oats get burnt.

Then you need a processor or mixer grinder to obtain a thick pulp of raspberries. If the pieces are slightly bigger that shouldn't be an issue after all we are not aiming for a completely smooth consistency but a grainy one. If you do not have a food processor chop them to small pieces and then press with fork.

In a bowl, you need to whisk some cream along with some honey and add the toasted oats to it. Now take a serving glass and start layering the dessert. This is the final step of making Cranachan so you won't have to wait much longer to relish your dessert.

First goes in the cream mixture at the bottom then some raspberry pulp and then again some cream mixture on top of it. For garnishing we used raw oatmeal and you can do that too. Cover the mouth of the glass with a plastic wrapper and leave the dessert in the refrigerator to cool down for about an hour.

You can even use some honey along with raspberry bits for garnishing the dessert. Apart from Scottish cranachan, there are several other traditional Scottish Desserts that you will come across. Have a look at the list.
