Time 20m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 7

½ cup rolled oats
1 cup heavy cream
¼ cup confectioners' sugar
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup fresh berries
1 tablespoon dark rum
4 fresh mint leaves for garnish

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spread oats out in a thin layer on a baking sheet. Toast in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes, or until nut-brown. Set aside to cool. Remove them from the pan for faster cooling.
  • In a medium bowl, whip the cream to firm peaks, but not grainy. Gently fold in the confectioners' sugar, vanilla and toasted oats. Spoon into 4 serving bowls, and top with fresh berries. For an extra touch, drizzle a bit of dark rum over each serving. Garnish with a mint leaf.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my cranachan turned out really runny. I think I might have added too much cream.

This recipe was a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would have preferred it with less sugar.
