The Scottish eat several different foods for dessert which include rich sticky Toffee pudding, fruit filled Clootie Dumpling, buttery Shortbread, caramel layered Millionaire's Shortbread and Sweet Tablet as well Empire Biscuits and fruit tarts that are usually served with custard or cream tart.

Scottish people also eat Cranachan, which is a layered raspberry, cream, oats and whisky delight dessert.

A traditional Scottish dessert is "Cranachan" which is a layered dessert that is made using whipped cream, toasted oats, raspberries, and also a touch of some whisky and honey.

Cranachan was originally a celebration of the raspberry harvest, but it's also now enjoyed year round.

The ingredients of Cranachan are whipped cream, raspberries, toasted oats, honey and whisky.

It's believed that Cranachan evolved and originated from an earlier dish called crowdie, which also included oatmeal, cream, honey and crowdie cheese.

The oats for Cranachan are toasted until they are nutty and then layered with the other ingredients, sometimes with a splash of whisky.

Some variations of Cranachan also use different types of oats, adding other fruits or nuts or even using different types of honey.

Cranachan is traditionally served in individual glasses or bowls, allowing for each person to assemble their own dessert.

Cranachan is also often served at celebrations like festivals, weddings or even Burns Night suppers.
