Method

Toast the oatmeal in a dry frying pan until it’s darkened in colour. Remove from the pan to cool.
Whisk the cream with the whisky and honey until it stands firm.
Carefully assemble the dessert in either individual glasses or a large glass bowl by forming layers of cream, coulis and oatmeal to end with a layer of cream.
