Burns Night Raspberry Whisky Cream Pots

One dull and drizzly day I devised a creamy concoction that has already become a firm favourite in this house, Raspberry Whisky Cream Pots, and which will be served throughout the year for other special occasions and family-get-togethers and not just Burns Night. It’s an easy pudding to make and yet the taste belies this fact, and I’m sure all of your guests will love this whisky laced cheesecake style trifle with jam, shortbread and fruit.
