Method

Grill the oatmeal until toasted. Be careful, it browns quickly!
Put the dates and apricots in a pan with 6 tbsp whisky and 6 tbsp water, and simmer over a low heat for 10 mins, stirring every so often.
Mash the mixture roughly with a fork, leaving a few chunks of apricot. Leave to cool.
Beat the mascarpone, the rest of the whisky and 2tbsp honey in a bowl, then mix in the toasted oatmeal.
Spoon some of the fruit, then the mascarpone mixture, into 4 serving glasses, then repeat the layers.
Chill, but bring back to room temperature 15 mins before serving.
Drizzle with more honey and serve.
