   • Preheat the broiler. Spread the oatmeal evenly on a baking sheet.
   • Place under the broiler and toast, turning occasionally with a spoon or spatula, until golden brown. This should take about 5-7 minutes. Keep a close eye on it to prevent burning.
   • Once toasted, remove from the oven and allow it to cool completely.

2. Prepare the Cream Mixture:

   • In a large mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream until it forms stiff peaks. This may take a few minutes, depending on the speed of your mixer.
   • Gradually add the honey and whisky to the whipped cream, gently folding them in until fully incorporated.
   • Once combined, gently fold in the toasted oatmeal, ensuring it is evenly distributed throughout the cream mixture.

3. Assemble the Cranachan:

   • Take four tall glasses or dessert bowls.
   • Begin by layering a spoonful of the whipped cream mixture at the bottom of each glass.
   • Add a layer of fresh raspberries on top of the cream.
   • Repeat the layers until the glasses are filled, finishing with a final layer of cream on top.
   • Cover the glasses with cling film or plastic wrap to seal them, then refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

4. Serve and Enjoy:

   • Before serving, remove the Cranachan from the refrigerator and let it come to room temperature for about 30 minutes.
   • Once ready, garnish each glass with a few additional raspberries for decoration.
   • Serve chilled and savor the irresistible combination of creamy sweetness and fruity tartness that defines this classic Scottish dessert.
