C for Chia Seeds and C for Cranachan.
‘Cranach an’ is a classic Scottish Dessert which you make with fruits that include various berries, some custard pudding whisked with cream and some roasted oatmeal soaked in some kind of alcohol. Got my inspiration from this classic dessert and made a fusion dish. You can call it a parfait as well.
