Cranachan is Scotland's summer dessert: whipped cream folded with toasted oats, honey and whisky, layered with raspberries. It is the sweet finish to a Glasgow dinner in berry season.
Cranachan grew out of a Highland harvest dish of crowdie cheese, oats and cream, sweetened over time with honey, whisky and Scotland's summer raspberries. It became the standard Scottish dinner-party pudding, assembled at the table. Glasgow restaurants like the Ubiquitous Chip serve it through berry season, and it features on the city's food-tour tastings.
