Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups fresh raspberries, divided
  • 3/4 cup gluten
  • free rolled oats
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 2 tbsp Scotch whisky (or gluten
  • free whiskey)
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup Greek yogurt
  • 1 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Fresh mint leaves, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a small bowl, mix the gluten free rolled oats with honey and whisky. Spread the mixture evenly on a parchment lined baking sheet and bake for 8 10 minutes until golden brown. Set aside to cool.
  3. In a large bowl, whip together the heavy cream, Greek yogurt, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until it reaches soft peaks. Fold in half of the fresh raspberries.
  4. Divide the whisky infused oats among two serving dishes. Layer the raspberry whipped cream on top.
  5. In a small saucepan, gently heat the remaining fresh raspberries with a splash of water until they soften and release their juice. Strain through a fine mesh sieve to create a coulis, discarding any solids. Drizzle the raspberry coulis over the whipped cream layer.
  6. Garnish with fresh mint leaves and serve immediately.
