Ingredients

• 150 grams shortbread cookies
• 50 grams almonds
• 2 tablespoons whisky
• 300 milliliters heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 10 grams dark chocolate (optional, for grating)

Directions

Step 1

Place the almonds on a cutting board and chop them finely. Alternatively, pulse them briefly in a food processor for a coarse chop.

Step 2

In a small bowl, combine the chopped almonds with the whisky. Stir to coat the almonds evenly and set aside to let the flavors meld while preparing the rest of the dessert.

Step 3

Take the shortbread cookies and crush them into coarse crumbs. You can do this by placing them in a resealable bag and using a rolling pin to crush them, or simply by hand. Set aside.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, pour in the heavy cream. Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, whip the cream until soft peaks form.

Step 5

Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract to the whipped cream. Continue to beat until stiff peaks form, being careful not to overwhip.

Step 6

Gently fold the whisky-soaked almonds and crushed shortbread into the whipped cream, ensuring they are evenly distributed.

Step 7

Spoon the mixture into individual serving glasses or bowls, smoothing the tops with the back of a spoon.

Step 8

Grate dark chocolate over the top of each serving, if desired, for a decorative touch.

Step 9

Chill the dessert in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld and the texture to set slightly.

Step 10

Serve chilled and enjoy your delicious Edinburgh Fog!
