Canadian Cranachan

So something many of you may not know is that I lived in Scotland for 5 years and during that period I worked in various restraints. One of the restaurants housed the largest collection of whisky globally, which is one of the many reasons I fell in love with the liquid gold. While working in this restaurant and the others I loved interacting with the Chefs some of which taught me more about cooking. One of the deserts we made was a Scottish Cranachan. Typically, this was made using raspberries and malted barley; however, I mixed it up to bring you my Canadian and seasonal take on this tasty treat. This Recipe includes alcohol so please enjoy it responsibly.
