  • Piping bag with star nozzle

Method

1

Start the night before you want to make the oats. Mix together the rolled oats, almonds, honey, cranberries, ground spices and a pinch of salt, then pour over the milk. Mix well, then divide between 6 bowls or jars. Cover and place in the fridge overnight

2

The next day, make the cardamom whipped cream. Whisk together the double cream, cardamom and a pinch of salt, then gradually whisk in the sugar. Mix until stiff peaks form, then transfer to a piping bag fitted with a star nozzle

3

Pipe a swirl of the whipped cardamom cream over the top of each jar or, if you're using bowls, pipe a blob of the cream and use the back of a spoon warmed in hot water to press a small divot in the centre

4

Drizzle the pears with honey, then divide between the oats. Garnish with a small pinch of chia seeds, ground cinnamon and chopped pistachios, then serve
