My Scottish family frequently makes this easy dessert. Use a Scotch of your choice but blended works very well. If you have just made marmalade, this is a perfect way to use it. Buy a good quality Scottish shortbread for the best results. Save a few shortbread crumbs to sprinkle on top.
Servings: 4
Ready Time: 15 minutes
Ingredients
1 cup whipping cream
1/4 cup Scotch of choice
1/3 cup marmalade
1 tsp lemon juice
2 tbsp granulated sugar
8 Scottish shortbread cookies crushed (or 1 1/3 cup crumbled shortbread crumbs)
Freshly ground black pepper
Method
Whip cream until it holds soft peaks.
Stir Scotch, marmalade, lemon juice and sugar together in a small bowl.
Slowly add to cream while continuing to whip. Fold in shortbread crumbs.
Divide into glass dishes and top with a grind of black pepper.
