TIPSY Laird TRADITIONAL SCOTTISH Dessert

Tipsy Laird is a Scottish dessert that’s a delightful variation of the traditional trifle. Unlike its English counterpart, which often uses sherry or Madeira wine, Tipsy Laird incorporates Scotch whisky, giving it a distinctively Scottish flavor. The name “Tipsy Laird” playfully refers to the effect of the whisky and translates to a “drunken lord.” This dessert is particularly popular on Burns Night, a celebration of Scotland’s national poet, Robert Burns, but it’s enjoyed throughout the year at various celebrations and gatherings.

The trifle, in its many forms, has been a staple dessert in Britain since the 18th century. The Scottish version has evolved to celebrate local ingredients, such as raspberries—Scotland is famed for its soft fruits and whisky. Over time, Tipsy Laird has become a beloved dessert, showcasing the rich dairy produce and vibrant berries for which Scotland is renowned.

Just look at that that is tipsy lead made traditional Scottish trifle hi everyone welcome to Backyard Chef I’m Rick today we are making a traditional Scottish trifle we are making Tipsy lead now Tipsy lead is different to an English trifle an English trifle contains jelly a traditional Tipsy lead does not contain

Jelly um jelly has been Incorporated and obviously people like jelly and it’s got into the recipe um so people do include the jelly however traditionally it’s not included now chipsy lead came around from about the 18th century I’m just mixing some custard actually we have to let this go cool so

We can put it on the custard just mix it up as per packet instructions or use it out of a tin now unlike the English version of trifle we all know trifle contains either madira wine or cherry Scotland sticks true to Scotland and a true flavor of Scotland and it uses whiskey Scotch

Whiskey that gives it the unique flavor along with fresh raspberries now we all know what raspberries are raspberries are a soft fruit however raspberry are a soft fruit of Scotland so this Tipsy lead is going to incorporate the Scotch whiskey the fresh raspberries and we’re going to make it more traditional not

The English trifle way okay so I’ve just been mixing up this custard that’s my flame off we’re going to put that to one side that has to cool now we have to toast and we want to be toasting these almonds off now almonds or almonds you say it how you

Like it’s spelled with an L but people say almonds that’s up to you they are going on the top of the Tipsy lead so just a few sliced almonds for decoration and we are going to use fresh raspberries on the top too okay that’s nice and steady that’s our

Almonds and they’re going in there there we go we got our almonds and they are ready for our garnish on the top of our Tipsy lead okay for all you people that follow the channel to which there are quite a few we made madira cake the other day

Now if you didn’t make the madira cake you can buy madira Cake madira Cake is traditional for this recipe however you can use a plain cake like a pound cake or something like that and what we need to do is we want some cake in the bottom

Of our Tipsy lead dish now we want to put some raspberry jam on this and we want to keep this roughly the same so we’re going just going to come in there like that and we’re going to jam it up and this little bit we’re going to keep

And we’re going to break it up and put it all around so that it’s going to soak up all that whiskey in there now it is a bit special this recipe it is one of those fantastic traditional recipes you don’t have to use whiskey

You know you can use a juice if you you so wish but we’re going to try and keep with a little bit more traditional this is homemade raspberry jam we can’t open now we can now this is homemade raspberry jam and there’s a link in the description

How to make raspberry jam if you cannot buy any right we want to be taking a little bit of jam onto our so we’re just going to blob a bit on to start off with and then we’ll smooth it out you can smooth it all on if you so

Wish or you can just dob it around that is up to you I’m not particularly all that fussy you know it’s good enough it’s going to go in the bottom and it’s going to have that raspberry flavor okay layering up our Tipsy lead now Tipsy lead calls for Scotch whiskey

It calls for about 6 or seven tablespoons over the madira cake so we’re going to put some in there probably about a t tablespoon and then we’re going to put this in there now this is going to soak up that fluid from the bottom underneath there

Now just squash it in squash it down break it up it doesn’t matter get your spoon let’s have that in there it does not matter this is the flavor in the bottom of here little bit more whiskey over the top don’t forget it’s six or seven tablespoons and then I’ve got a little

Bit more of this medira Kate which I am actually breaking this time it’s a layer on the top of there everybody makes it their own way so don’t panic make it the way that you know let just squash that in there and that is my base for my fresh

Raspberries now of course you can put some more on there if you so wish more Whiskey on there that is up to you or you can put a little bit more raspberry jam on again up to you so we’re going to do a little bit of raspberry

Jam cuz it’s all about the raspberries and like I said this is not a sweetened Jam so that’s going to add to our raspberry flavor this stage is optional you don’t have to put an extra layer but it gives that flavor through there you know we’re creating a flavorful dish so we’re going

On there with our raspberries give them a little squashing don’t be fright to squashing them in there that is our flavor level this is why I use raspberry jam as well on this level it distributes that flavor all through that uh madira cake there we have it now our

Custard should be a little bit cool so we’re going on there with our custard I’m just going to Bob that in the fridge for about half an hour to slightly set up on there before I add my cream to the top I want that little bit

Firm before I put the cream on so that’s going in the fridge the next job then whilst our trifle is in the fridge cooling we have to whip up some cream I’ve got some powdered sugar here and I’m going to put that in now I’m not

Going to go too much on the sugar you can use regular sugar as well white sugar just put it in and whip it up I’m not really keen on the sweet whipped cream but you know we’ll put some in just a little bit right we need to whip

This up so we got some whipped Cream I think that’ll do nicely okay there’s our custard out of the fridge now it’s not set by any means look but it is set up enough to put that cream on so we want to get our cream on there so just dob your cream around and then just push it

Down okay we got that on there you can leave it like that or you can fluff it up now that looks a bit special we need to decorate it up a little bit keep it in addition with the Scottish raspberries so let’s have a few of those on

There we’re going to go in the middle like that and then we’re going to dot a CLE Around we’ll come in like that to start off with and if we’ve got any left we’ll come in the middle of those I think that will do and then we need to go on there with some of our flaked almonds now that’s more traditional like that but I’m just going to put some

Chocolate sprinkles in between now you could shave on some chocolate if you so wish I don’t have any on hand but I do have a couple of chocolate sprinkles which can go in there and there we have it Tipsy lead made right I’m going to stick that in

The fridge I’m going to let it all settle up a little bit I want that custard a little bit firmer I won’t be it won’t be too firm but I want it a little bit firmer and then we’re going to take a spoonful now this is the taste test I

Can’t wait for traditional Scottish Tipsy lead right that’s going in the fridge oh here we are look at that that’s cool down enough all we got to do now is give it a serving go wait now do we go straight down to the bottom cuz we know what’s in the bottom oh yes
