Raspberry Cream Crowdie

Crowdies are traditional scottish desserts, first served to celebrate the autumn harvest.

Set aside.

Chill until required.
Alternative: for slightly larger serves , with more of the creamy mixture , use 150ml of double cream and 150ml of yoghurt , mixed together , with honey and whisky then whisked into the blended cream / yogurt.
The yogurt i always buy is a very creamy , slightly sweet greek yogurt which i get at a local delicatessen.
When i make this re.
