Steps

  • Line a baking sheet with parchment and melt sugar in a pan until it caramelizes.
  • Stir oats into the caramel, cool on the tray, then grind into a coarse powder.
  • Simmer raspberries, sugar, lemon juice, and 90ml water for three minutes.
  • Soften gelatine in cold water while the fruit simmers.
  • Sieve the fruit to create 200ml of purée and discard the seeds.
  • Dissolve the squeezed gelatine into the warm purée and refrigerate until softly set.
  • Whisk egg yolks, sugar, honey, and 45ml whisky in a bowl over simmering water.
  • Beat the mixture until thickened and it reaches 80°C, then allow to cool.
  • Combine the crème fraîche and mascarpone in a separate bowl.
  • Dissolve more softened gelatine into warmed remaining whisky.
  • Fold the whisky mixture, cooled egg base, and lemon juice into the cheese mixture.
  • Layer the jelly, mousse, and oatmeal praline into eight dessert glasses and garnish with raspberries.
