Cream Crowdie

Ingredients:

Cooking spray or 1 Tbs. melted butter
4 to 5 Tbs. medium-size oats (reserve a small amount to use as a garnish)
1 cup heavy cream
2 Tbs. honey
1 Tbs. Scotch whiskey
Approximately 1 cup berries (e.g., raspberries, blackberries or blueberries)
Sprig of mint for garnish
Optional: toasted nuts such as almonds instead of oats as garnish

Preparation:

Lightly brown oats in a pan that has been coated with cooking spray or a little melted butter. Remove from heat and allow to cool.

Beat heavy cream until soft peaks form. Add honey and then whiskey. Fold in the toasted oats. Layer in a tall glass, beginning with a small amount of berries, then whipped-cream mixture. Alternate layers of berries and cream, ending with a few berries. Garnish with toasted oats or nuts and a sprig of mint.
