Author Notes: Scotland’s national pudding, called cranachan or crowdie cream, is a traditional folk dessert once prepared for harvest celebrations and holidays, made with a mixture of oatmeal, sweetened whipped cream, whatever berries were in season, and whisky. Scottish Americans hail it as a favorite Highland dish that they prepare with family recipes for special occasions. This is one version that is made preferably with nutritious blueberries.
Ingredients: 1/2 cup rolled oats
1 cup heavy cream, chilled
2 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons Scotch whisky
2 cups fresh blueberries
Instructions:

Spread oats in a shallow baking pan. In a preheated 350ºF oven, toast oats, stirring occasionally, for about 15 minutes, until light golden brown. Remove from oven. Cool.

In a chilled large bowl, whip cream until soft peaks form. Gradually add sugar and whisky. whip until the mixture thickens. Fold in oats.

Layer the cream mixture and berries in 4 dessert glasses, beginning with a layer of cream and topping with a layer of berries. Refrigerate for up to 2 hours.
