Ingredients

jumbo oats 75g

whisky 5 tbsp

Method

Step 1

Toast the oats in a dry frying pan over a medium heat, tossing regularly, until golden. Leave to cool.
Step 2

Pour the double cream into a bowl with the icing sugar and whip with electric beaters until it holds soft peaks. Add the whisky and beat briefly to combine, then fold in three-quarters of the raspberries and the same of the toasted oats. Divide between six glasses or dishes, then top with remaining raspberries and oats before drizzling over the honey.
