This makes a fabulous dessert for a dinner party – the fruity raspberries balance out the richness of the mousse and it's great served with shortbread biscuits on the side

Ingredients
- 3 large eggs
- 100g clear honey (heather honey if possible)
- 100ml whisky
- 400ml double cream
- 300g raspberries
To serve, optional
- shortbread biscuits (use GF sweet oat biscuits instead of shortbread if required)
Step by step
Get ahead
Prepare the mousse up to 8 hours ahead, keep chilled.
- Break the eggs into a large heatproof bowl then add the honey and 50ml of the whisky. Whisk together with a fork until combined, then place the bowl over a pan of gently simmering water on the hob. Using an electric hand mixer, beat until frothy, voluminous and thick enough to hold a trail. Remove from the pan and whisk for a few minutes until cool.
- In another bowl, beat the rest of the whisky and the double cream to soft peaks, then add this to the frothy egg mixture and whisk to combine.
- Keep back a few raspberries to decorate; divide the rest of them between 6 glasses. Spoon on the whisky and honey mousse; add the reserved raspberries on top. Cover and chill for at least 1 hour.
-
Serve with shortbread, or oat biscuits; you can crumble up a couple of biscuits and scatter the chunky crumbs on top of the mousse just before serving, with extra biscuits for dipping.
