Method

  1. Put the butter, sugar and oats in a saucepan and stir over a high heat for 4–5 minutes, or until toasted and crunchy. Set aside to cool.
  2. Measure the mascarpone and cream into a bowl and whisk until soft peaks form when the whisk is removed from the bowl.
  3. Add the whisky, 300g raspberries and two-thirds of the cooled oats. Mix until combined, but try to keep the raspberries fairly whole.
  4. Spoon into glasses and top with the remaining raspberries and crunchy oats.
