I'll have to try your idea! I've always wanted to make cranachan too but don't really like whisky either - although I should just make it without!

It consisted of layered cherries, crunchy oats (granola?), and yoghurt, and was always served in slim, high glasses and topped with grated chocolate. No whisky and cream though. :)Kath (My Funny Little Life)https://www.blogger.com/profile/10295143356577259844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-2439475656815365702013-02-07T22:44:29.434+11:002013-02-07T22:44:29.434+11:00Thanks Cakelaw - the yoghurt definitely was much b...Thanks Cakelaw - the yoghurt definitely was much better - I might even try all yoghurt next timeJohanna GGGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08594201473931487490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-17023705682122345192013-02-07T22:44:00.215+11:002013-02-07T22:44:00.215+11:00Thanks Kari - they would be easy to prepare ahead ...Thanks Kari - they would be easy to prepare ahead and have all the components ready to mix up - though it took me so little time to make that you just need to have the ingredients to hand. Maybe you need a higher ratio of oats and fruit to cream - some recipes chose very little oats but I wanted ones that had more of them to cut through the creamJohanna GGGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08594201473931487490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-5293676568085398482013-02-07T22:41:57.574+11:002013-02-07T22:41:57.574+11:00Thanks Cindy - sounds like the dessert is a little...Thanks Cindy - sounds like the dessert is a little bit scottish a little big swiss - I've never had bircher muesli but I guess I should try it and just think cranachanJohanna GGGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08594201473931487490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-2822236414575784822013-02-07T22:41:08.967+11:002013-02-07T22:41:08.967+11:00Thanks Hannah - high five for parfaits without cre...Thanks Hannah - high five for parfaits without cream - I much prefer custard to cream Johanna GGGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08594201473931487490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-62631561119891951982013-02-07T22:39:48.846+11:002013-02-07T22:39:48.846+11:00Thanks Joanne - it was far quicker than baking a c...Thanks Joanne - it was far quicker than baking a cake - made for a relaxed eveningJohanna GGGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08594201473931487490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-10637101922780287122013-02-07T22:39:26.416+11:002013-02-07T22:39:26.416+11:00Thanks Veganopoulous - would love to see your vers...Thanks Veganopoulous - would love to see your version (does it include silken tofu? and please tell me there is no soyatoo involved)Johanna GGGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08594201473931487490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-36034841745574150432013-02-07T07:13:01.400+11:002013-02-07T07:13:01.400+11:00Your cranachan looks delicious.

If you took out the cream I think I'd like them, but like you, have never really liked cream and think even with yoghurt it might not be for me. My Mum is the same, so I view anti-cream-ness as normal :)Karihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15887621874869110597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-43573287500329913222013-02-06T16:22:35.862+11:002013-02-06T16:22:35.862+11:00A belated happy birthday to you, Johanna.
