Maple Whiskey Oatmeal Layered Dessert #recipe #mystery @abbottmysteries





 

Rolled oats don't need to be confined to breakfast. This delicious and very easy dessert was adapted from a recipe in the Globe Style Advisor for Fall 2017.  I thought it reflected my Scottish and Irish roots nicely.  Victoria commented that the dessert was fabulous and quite boozy, so govern yourselves accordingly.  It's not only easy but also fun to make. And brown sugar, oats, pecans and maple syrup are on the top of our list of faves.  We like Irish whiskey too and that explains the Jameson.


Maple Whiskey Oatmeal Layered Dessert 



Ingredients

¹/³ cup Jameson whiskey (we could have used Scotch, but we went with what we had)
1 tbsp butter
¹/³ cup rolled oats
¹/³ cup chopped pecans
¼ cup brown sugar, firmly packed
1¼ cups whipping cream
1/3 to ½ cup maple syrup



Directions
Melt butter in a small frying pan over medium heat.

Add rolled oats and toast, stirring often, for 5 minutes.


Add pecans and cook for 1 minute.





Add brown sugar and cook, stirring for 2 to 3 minutes until melted.  




Turn onto a parchment lined baking sheet. Cool. Crumble into pieces.


Whip cream to soft peaks.  Add one tablespoon of maple syrup and all the whiskey (wheee!)  and whip until stiff peaks form.  



Spoon 2 tsp of maple syrup into the bottom of 4 serving glasses.

Top with whipped cream and oat mixture.
.
Drizzle with maple syrup, then repeat that layers, saving some syrup to drizzle on top.

Serve immediately or refrigerate.




We love your suggestions and comments. Come on by and tell us what you would add or subtract or substitute in this recipe. Not everyone loves every ingredient!  We were considering adding dried cranberries. What do you think?




In case you don't know, Victoria Abbott is a collaboration between  me, Mary Jane Maffini, and my daughter Victoria. Together we write the book collector mysteries.   We think that reading them is like taking a lovely trip to a mysterious place where books are everything and, yes, murder happens and great meals are served and some relatives are not to be trusted. Of course, justice prevails in the end and books are loved.


The book collector mysteries are fun, easy to read and surprising too. All five titles are available in print, e-book and audio format. Don't miss out.  You can get to meet Peachy (posing below) aka Walter the Pug.  Watch out for the Siamese cats - one is good and one will get you!


I'm Peachy the Pug and I approve this Post.

  1. That looks absolutely lethal! Is it a form of crannochan (sp?)? I think I'd go with honey since I'm not a maple syrup fan. Love maple sugar candy but not syrup. Go figure!
