📖 The Story Behind This Dish

Cranachan began as a summer dessert celebrating the raspberry harvest and is now essential at Burns Night and New Year celebrations in Scotland. The toastiness of the oats, the sweetness of heather honey, and the tartness of raspberries are brought together with cream. For adults, a little Scotch whisky is stirred in.

🌆 Where it's eaten: On the night celebrating the birthday of poet Robert Burns, glasses of layered cranachan arrive after the haggis and the room raises a toast.
